[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
