Operator Lyrics - River Of Time - Jorma Kaukonen

Operator, can you help me? 

Help me if you please 

Give me the right area code 

And the number that I need 

My rider left upon the Midnight Flyer 

Singing like a summer breeze 

I think she's somewhere down south 

Down about Baton Rouge 

But I just can't remember no number 

A number I can use, directory don't have it 

Central done forgot it 

Got to find a number to use 

Trying to check out her number 

Trying to run down her line 

Operator said that's priviledged information 

And it ain't no business of mine 

It's flooding down in Texas, the poles are down in Utah 

Got to find a private line 

She could be hanging round a steel mill 

Working in a house of blue light 

Riding a getaway bus out of Portland 

Talking to the night
