Been a poor ol' boy an’ a long ways from home
Long way from home
Been a poor ol' boy and a long ways from home

I got ‘rested, no money to buy my fine
Money to buy my fine
I got ‘rested, no money to buy my fine

Said, I guess I'll have to catch the Frisco out in this land

Man, if that don’t do I'm gwine, woods a while
Try the woods a while
Yeah

I cried, "Hello Central, gi' me
Your long-distance phone."
I cried, "Hello Central, give me your long-distance phone."
She ask me what number did I want

I cried, “Please ma'am give me 1349”
“1349”
I cried, “Please ma'am give me 1349”

Tried to phone it to
Tried to phone it to

Tell her send me little money
Oh, to buy my fine

She cried, "The bucket got a
She cried, "The bucket got
Lord, ‘twon't hold no beer."
