(The) Telephone Girl

Key of G

Verse 1

My heart is broke and it ain't no joke
And I'm happy and I'm sad
I feel so queer sometimes I fear that things will drive me mad
A little girl with finger curls came here a week ago
To work upon the telephone and say hello hello

Chorus

Hello hello hello hello her voice with music rings
It's sweeter than the whippoorwill that in the woodland sings
Across the floor beside the door as I march to and fro
She leans upon that telephone and say hello hello

Verse 2

I have not spoken to her yet I've been in such a daze
Although she sometime 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 that telephone and say hello hello

Verse 3

I see her as she walks along in sunshine and in rain
I hear her message jingle as the elevated train
Every sound that comes around above and down below
It seems to say the live long day hello hello hello

Verse 4

I'll tell you what I'll buy a spot not very far from town
And if she'll agree to marry me we both will settle down
Where sweet honeysuckle blooms and wild flowers grow
She'll meet me at the garden gate and say hello hello
