Ida Cox — Long Distance Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Hello Central: give me long‑distance please
I’m begging with tears in my eyes: and down on my bended
knees
Hello Central: give me Mr Henry Brown
What you say you were calling: a storm has blown the
wires down
Listen long‑distance: can you send a telegram
Do this please: before I fall down *left in a jam*
You just tell him: he better hurry home
Because I’m tired: of making all these nights alone
