| [00:03.18] |
Now I can't wait on babies, the smiling merchant said |
| [00:10.98] |
As he stooped and softly toyed with his golden curly head |
| [00:21.99] |
I want to call up mama, came the answer full and free |
| [00:26.25] |
Would you telephone and ask her when she's coming back to me |
| [00:33.72] |
My child, the merchant murmured |
| [00:39.21] |
As he stroked the anxious brow |
| [00:41.40] |
No telephone connection |
| [00:45.00] |
Where your mother lives at now |
| [00:50.97] |
No telephone in heaven |
| [00:52.62] |
And the tears sprang in her eyes |
| [00:54.87] |
I thought God had everything |
| [00:58.71] |
With him up in the sky |
| [01:04.83] |
Tell her that I get so lonesome that I don't know what to do |
| [01:12.42] |
And papa cries so much I guess he must be lonesome, too |
| [01:20.64] |
Tell her to come to baby, 'cause at night I get so 'fraid |
| [01:25.83] |
With no one there to kiss me when the lights begin to fade |
| [01:34.59] |
My child, the merchant murmured |
| [01:39.72] |
As he stroked the anxious brow |
| [01:43.71] |
No telephone connection |
| [01:45.84] |
Where your mother lives at now |
| [01:51.81] |
No telephone in heaven |
| [01:53.43] |
And the tears sprang in her eyes |
| [01:58.80] |
I thought God had everything |
| [01:59.40] |
With him up in the sky |
| [02:06.42] |
All through the day I wander since my dolly's got so tore |
| [02:11.61] |
Where the awful punching brother give it with his little sword |
| [02:21.33] |
They ain't no one to fix it since mama's gone away |
| [02:27.87] |
And poor little lonesome dolly's getting thinner every day |
| [02:35.25] |
My child, the merchant murmured |
| [02:40.35] |
As he stroked the anxious brow |
| [02:42.72] |
No telephone connection |
| [02:46.53] |
Where your mother lives at now |
| [02:51.81] |
No telephone in heaven |
| [02:53.97] |
And the tears sprang in her eyes |
| [02:58.41] |
I thought God had everything |
| [02:59.34] |
With him up in the sky |
