Electrician Blues - Lizzie Miles

Hello, Central, give me ticket sixty-nine

Hello, Central, give me ticket sixty-nine

Get my sweet electrician, put him on my private line

My front home lights ain’t working, and my double stuff' is loose

My front home lights ain’t working, and my double stuff' is loose

Come look at my meter, think I’ve got to hire more juice

Last night I had no trouble, and my fan was working fine

Last night I had no trouble, and my fan was working fine

It stopped and I discovered, a short circuit in my line

My fan needs your attention, come and see the way it does

My fan needs your attention, come and see the way it does

No matter how you push it, you can’t even make it buzz

No one can fix my bed lamp, seems the plug keeps slipping out

Oh, no one can fix my bed lamp, seems that plug keeps slipping out

A man who knows his business, knows just what it’s all about

Oh, hurry sweet electrician, 'cause I burnt out my fuse

Oh, hurry sweet electrician, 'cause I burnt out my fuse

No one but you can save me, from those true electrician blues!
