Long Distance Blues

[Verse 1]
Hello, Central, give me long distance please
Hello, Central, give me long distance please
I'm begging with tears in my eyes and down on my bended knees

[Verse 2]
Hello, Central, give me Mr. Henry Brown
Hello, Central, give me Mr. Henry Brown
What'd you say? You're sorry, a storm has blown the wires all down

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Mr. Long Distance, can't you send a telegram?
Mr. Long Distance, can't you send a telegram?
Do this, please, for a poor gal that's in a jam

[Verse 4]
You just tell him he'd better hurry home
You just tell him he'd better hurry home
Because I'm tired of making all these nights alone
