The Telephone Girl

歌詞

My heart is broke, it ain't no joke I'm happy and I'm sad I feel so queer, I sometimes fear That thing will drive me mad A little girl with frizzen curls Came here a week ago To work upon that telephone And say hello, hello Hello, hello, hello, hello Her voice with music rings It's sweeter than the whippoorwill That in the moonlight sings Across the floor, beside the door As I march to and fro She leans upon that telephone And say hello, hello I have not spoken to her yet I've been in such a daze Although she sometimes looks at me With sort of a distant gaze I feel too weak, I cannot speak My heart is beating so Like when she reach (ed) that telephone And said hello, hello Hello, hello, hello, hello Her voice with music rings It's sweeter than the whippoorwill That in the moonlight sings Across the floor, beside the door As I march to and fro She leans upon that telephone And say hello, hello I see her as she walks along In sunshine and in rain I hear her midst the jingle Of the elevated train Every sound that comes around Above and down below It seems to say the livelong day Hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello, hello Her voice with music rings It's sweeter than the whippoorwill That in the moonlight sings Across the floor, beside the door As I march to and fro She leans upon that telephone And say hello, hello I tell you what, I'll buy a spot Not very far from town And if she'll 'gree to marry me We both will settle down Where the wild honeysuckles bloom And the fragrant flowers grow She'll meet me at the garden gate And say hello, hello Hello, hello, hello, hello Her voice with music rings It's sweeter than the whippoorwill That in the moonlight sings Across the floor, beside the door As I march to and fro She leans upon that telephone And say hello, hello
