Tulsa Telephone Book Lyrics - 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 through 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 Shirley," and I said, "My name is T." 

I woke up the next mornin' and 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 Shirley 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 

I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
