Long Distance Moan Songtext
von Blind Lemon Jefferson

I fly into South Carolina, I gotta go there this time
I fly into South Carolina, I gotta go there this time
Woman in Dallas, Texas, is ′bout to make me lose my mind

Long distance, long distance, will you please give me a credit call?
Long distance, long distance, will you give me a please to a credit call?
Wanna talk to my gal in South Carolina, who looks like a Indian squaw


Just wanna ask my baby, what in the world is she been doin'
Wanna ask my baby, what in the world is she been doin′
Give your lovin' to another joker and it's sure gon′ be my ruin

Hey, long distance, I can′t help but moan
Mmm, I can't help but moan
My baby′s voice sounds so sweet, almost wrecks the telephone

You don't know you love your rider till she′s so far from you
You don't know you love your rider until she′s so far from you
You can get long distance moan and you don't care what you do

I think I'll use telephonin′ to get my darlin′ off my mind
So I'll use telephonin′, get my baby off my mind
This long distance moan 'bout to worry me to death this time
