Operator, give me Jesus on the line

I go away for 48 hours and come back to find the weather has turned Turk on us. So time to draw on a old-time spiritual to get us mainlined into weather command. De Danann do my all-time fav version of Operator (their lyrics below), but for the life of me can’t find a version on YouTube and don’t have Frankie Gavin’s phone number handy to ask permission to get the digi file online here. So for now, here’s another version, if this doesn’t work, I am going to hang up my meteorological mitts.

Operator

• (Trad / de Dannan) Operator, information, give me Jesus on the line
  Operator, information, I’d like to speak to a friend of mine
  Prayer is the number, faith is the exchange
  Heaven is the street and Jesus is the name
  Operator, information, give me Jesus on the line
  Repeat
  Operator, information, help me if you can
  Operator, information, connect me with the man
  Though I’m without the money, I’ll pay the charge
  Connect me with the man, I’ve called him to my heart
  Operator, information, give me Jesus on the line
  Operator, information, please tell me why
  Operator, information, I have to try
  My mother knew his number when I was very small
  Every time she dialled he answered the call
  Operator, information, give me Jesus on the line
  Repeat 1
  (as sung by De Dannan)
