Long Distance Blues by Ida Cox Lyrics

[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
[Wouldn't/Would 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 makin' all these nights alone
