Hello Central, please give me 209
Hello, hello Central, will you please give me 209?
Yes, you know I wanna talk to my baby
Well, Lord, and she is way down the line
Seem like the buses done stopped running
And the trains don't allow me to ride no more
Seem like the buses done stopped running
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
Mmm, 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?"
