Telephone Blues - Sonny Terry

Well, my home in Texas, here I am in Tennessee

Well, my home in Texas, Lord, here I am in Tennessee

Well, you know, I’m so worried and lonesome, because she won’t write to me

Telephone me, telephone me, sweetheart, telephone me everyday

Telephone me, telephone me, sweetheart, telephone me everyday

Well, you know, I’m workin' in this town for you lil' woman

A whoa, you know, I’m sendin' you all my pay

Well, my home in Texas, Tennessee’s no place for me

Well, my home in Texas, Tennessee’s no place for me

Well, you know, I’ll soon be with you darlin', a whoa, please, honey,

wait and see

My telephone won’t ring, the mailman won’t leave me no mail

My telephone won’t ring, the mailman won’t leave me no mail

Well, I say if I catch you cheatin' on me darlin', a whoa, you know,

I’m goin' to the county jail
