|
Now I can't wait on babies, the smiling merchant said |
|
As he stooped and softly toyed with his golden curly head |
|
I want to call up mama, came the answer full and free |
|
Would you telephone and ask her when she's coming back to me |
|
My child, the merchant murmured |
|
As he stroked the anxious brow |
|
No telephone connection |
|
Where your mother lives at now |
|
No telephone in heaven |
|
And the tears sprang in her eyes |
|
I thought God had everything |
|
With him up in the sky |
|
Tell her that I get so lonesome that I don't know what to do |
|
And papa cries so much I guess he must be lonesome, too |
|
Tell her to come to baby, 'cause at night I get so 'fraid |
|
With no one there to kiss me when the lights begin to fade |
|
My child, the merchant murmured |
|
As he stroked the anxious brow |
|
No telephone connection |
|
Where your mother lives at now |
|
No telephone in heaven |
|
And the tears sprang in her eyes |
|
I thought God had everything |
|
With him up in the sky |
|
All through the day I wander since my dolly's got so tore |
|
Where the awful punching brother give it with his little sword |
|
They ain't no one to fix it since mama's gone away |
|
And poor little lonesome dolly's getting thinner every day |
|
My child, the merchant murmured |
|
As he stroked the anxious brow |
|
No telephone connection |
|
Where your mother lives at now |
|
No telephone in heaven |
|
And the tears sprang in her eyes |
|
I thought God had everything |
|
With him up in the sky |
