Lyrics Electrician Blues - Lizzie Miles

Electrician Blues

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!
