John Penney - "Operator, Get Me Dixie"

{verse}

Well, I knew I had it made, from the Opry Shows I`d played,
And the Country Music world was at my feet.
But then I took to drinking, Jack Daniels done my thinking,
But I sobered up in time to find her gone.

{chorus}

Oh, Operator, Get Me Dixie
You got to help me make this call.
Oh, Operator, Get Me Dixie
That southern girl left loving on my mind

{verse}

She caught that gray dog south, cause I couldn't shut my mouth,
I said I didn't need her anymore.
Well, now that was whiskey talking, but she just started walking,
And that southern girl is Alabama bound.

{chorus}

{verse}

They say that it takes time to get a lover off your mind,
Oh but this one was driving me insane.
Well now, that`s the way it goes but nobody ever knows
Why her memory keeps me reaching for that phone.

{chorus twice, end}
