Tulsa Telephone Book lyrics

Words and music by Tom T. Hall

Originally by Tom T. Hall

Have you read any good telephone books lately?
If you ain t then let me recommend one
I ve already read that tulsa telephone book thirteen times
If you don t know any last names it ain t much fun
Readin that tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane
Especially if that girl you re lookin for has no last name
I gotta find her and tell her, I don t want our love to end
So I m readin that tulsa telephone book again
Well, I was in tulsa and didn t have anything goin
She lived in tulsa and didn t have anything on
She said, "my name is juanita," and I said, "my name is j.b. [t.]"
When I woke up the very next mornin she was gone
All of the tulsa operators know my voice now
And they gotta know how long I ve been alone
If you meet a girl named juanita with some ribbons in her hair
Would you tell her that she s wanted on the phone
Readin that tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane
Especially if that girl you re lookin for has no last name
I gotta find her and tell her, I don t want our love to end
So I m readin that tulsa telephone book again
