Telephone Arguin' Blues
 

There's so many people : arguing on the telegram

This thought have run through my head : just like a stone in sand

Hello Central : please give me five oh nine

I just want to talk : to that old‑time gal of mine

Hey arguing : arguing everywhere

I can't get no message : over the phone nowhere I go

Mmm baby : when can I speak to you

If you don't talk to me soon : baby I don't know what I'm going to do

I picked up the receiver : I could not get a word

I want to talk to my home : from this sad New York land

I'm asking you a question : mama asking you very clear

And if *all things true* : man I'm going to leave on the

Mmm ain't seen my baby : in six long months today

Some woman love I used to have : gone seen my babe some day
