Intro:  D

Verse:
Bm           A
I spent last night in the arms of a
G               D
girl in Louisiana
A                      D
And though I'm out on the highway
     G                     A
my thoughts are still with her

Such a strange combination of a
woman and a child
Such a strange situation stoppin'
every hundred miles callin' Baton Rouge

(then play D for the fiddle part)

Chorus:
D (play D all the way through)
Operator, won't you put on through?
I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge
Hurry up, won't you put her on the line?
I gotta talk to the girl just one more time.

Hello, Samantha dear,
  Bm                 Asus
I hope you're feelin fine
D                A
And it won't be long until
    Bm               Asus
I'm with you all the time, but until
G                  A
then I'll spend my money up
      D               G
right down to my last dime,
     A
call-in Baton Rouge

(then play D again over fiddle part)

(then back to chorus: "Operator..."

Em  D  G  A  D
