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.

Then I’ll spend my money up

Right down to my last dime,

Call-in Baton Rouge
