(E) Get me anybody on the (B) phone
(E) Look there in your book and pick a (A) number
Cause you (E) can't be choosy when your this a(B)lone (E7)
Won't you (A) talk to me Texas
(E) Let me hear that draw
I (A) spent my last five dollar's
On this (B7) one long distance call
Won't you (E) talk to me Texas
I (A) got these home sick blues
(E) Tell me I can (B7) come on home to (E) you

It's (E) been in here a dozen years I (B) know

I (E) know by now she's probably changed her (A) number
And (E) with my luck she's probably changed her (B) name
