(Don Cook/Bucky Jones/Curly Putman)



It's lonely out tonight down here in Georgia

And the oldest friend I've got I met today

The woman that I love just up and left me

And the place I love is a thousand miles away



Operator hook me up to Houston

Get me anybody on the phone

Look there in your book and pick a number

'Cause you can't be choosy when your this alone



Won't you talk to me Texas let me hear that drawl

I spent my last five dollars on this one long distance call

Won't you talk to me Texas I got these homesick blues

Tell me I can come on home to you



I got this faded number in my wallet

That's been in here a dozen years I know

I used to call it up when I was lonely

Lord that woman sure could love me so



I know by now she's probably changed her number

With my luck she's probably changed her name

If there's a chance in hell I think I'll take it

'Cause I'd love to hear that woman's voice again



Won't you talk to me Texas let me hear that drawl

I spent my last five dollars on this one long distance call

Won't you talk to me Texas I got these homesick blues

Tell me I can come on home to you



Won't you talk to me Texas I got these homesick blues

Tell me I can come on home to you
