Sonny Terry lyrics

Telephone Blues blues lyrics

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 country jail.
