1. Long-distance information, get me Memphis, Tennessee,

help me find the party who tried to get in touch with me.

She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call,

Her home is on the south side, high upon the ridge,

with hurry-home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes.
