Question

Answer 1

The Song is called Memphis Tennessee and it was done by Johnny Rivers. He is the same guy who sang Secret Agent MAn. I am not sure but Chuck Berry might have done it first but the only one I recall was Johnny's version. The Beatles covered it too.

Answer 2

Could this be it?

Edit: Yes, Disney Fanatic is correct it is Memphis Tennessee. Here are the lyrics,

Long distance information give me Memphis, Tennessee

Help me find the party that tried to get in touch with me

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

'cause my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wall

Help me information get in touch with my Marie

She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis, Tennessee

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

Just a half-a-mile from the Mississippi bridge

Last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye

With "hurry home" drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye

But we were pulled apart because her Mom did not agree

And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee

Help me information, more than that I cannot add

Only that I miss her and all the fun we had

Marie is only six years old, information please

Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee

Long distance information give me Memphis Tennesee

Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me

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

'cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall.

Help me information get in touch with my Marie;

She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis, Tennesee.

Her house is on the south side, high up on a ridge

Just about a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge.

Last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye

With hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickeled from her eye

Marie is only six years old, information, please

Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennesee
