Verse:
BmBm Piano Chord 
           AA Piano Chord 

I spent last night in the arms of a
GG Piano Chord 
               DD Piano Chord 

girl in Louisiana
AA Piano Chord 
                      DD Piano Chord 

And though I'm out on the highway
GG Piano Chord 
                     AA Piano Chord 

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.
