Lyrics

Hello, central, please get me 2-0-9

Hello, hello, central, will you please give me 2-0-9

Yes, you know, I wanna talk to my baby

Oh, Lord, and she is way down the line

Seem like the busses done stopped runnin'

And the trains don't allow me to ride no more

Seem like the busses done stopped runnin'

Trains don't allow me to ride no more

Ticket agent said my ticket played out

He'll see that I don't ride for sure

I turned around from the telephone

Went walking straight back home

Mmmm, turned around from the telephone

I went walking straight back home

I was praying in my heart asking Jesus:

"Oh, Lord, now what wrong have I done?"
