Circle left
*Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find a party that tried to get in touch with me

Allemande your corner and you dosado
Allemande your corner and weave the ring
Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Swing and promenade
Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had


*Last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye
With hurry-home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye


*Her home is on the south side, high upon a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade about half way round
Walk down the middle and square thru 2
Right & left thru, pass thru, trade by
Swing thru, boy run
Couples circulate, half tag, scoot back
Swing your corner girl and promenade
Her home is on the south side, high upon a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge
