Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

I spent last night in the arms of a

girl in Louisiana

And though I'm out on the highway

 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.

Instrumental solo

Bridge

Hello, Samantha dear,

 I hope you're feelin fine

And it won't be long until

 I'm with you all the time, but until

then I'll spend my money up

 right down to my last dime,

 call-in Baton Rouge

(then play D again over fiddle part)

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

Call-in Baton Rouge

Sweet Baton Rouge

My Baton Rouge

woah.....
