Lyrics:

You’re a real mean mama
But you got a lot of time for me
And I know it ain’t common
To find your kind of love for free

It’s a drag and a sigh
And that’s not all
This is real long distance
It’s a real long distance call

Telephone ringing, mama
Please don’t you leave it alone
Don’t leave no breaks in the line
It’s the only thing that’s tied to home

This is real long distance
It’s a real long distance call
Calling real long distance
It’s a real long distance call
Calling real long distance
It’s a real long distance call
