The Carter Family – No Telephone In Heaven (Guitar)

                             D                A
Now I can’t wait on baby the smiling merchant said

                                                  E
As stooped and softly toyed with his golden curly head

  A                              D               A
I want to call up mamma came the answer full and free

                                          E              A
Will you telephone and ask her when she’s coming back to me

                                     D                   A
My child the merchant murmured as he stroked the anxious brow

                                                   E
No telephone connection where your mother lives at now

   A                         D                  A
No telephone in heaven and a tear sprang in her eyes

                                  E             A
I thought God had everything with him up in the sky

                                       D                  A
Tell her that I get so lonesome that I don’t know what to do

                                                    E
And pappa cries so much I guess he must be lonesome too

     A                            D               A
Tell her to come to baby cause at night I get so ‘fraid

                                      E               A
With no one there to kiss me when the lights begin to fade

                                     D                   A
My child the merchant murmured as he stroked the anxious brow

                                                   E
No telephone connection where your mother lives at now

   A                         D                  A
No telephone in heaven and a tear sprang in her eyes

                                  E             A
I thought God had everything with him up in the sky

                                        D              A
All through the day I want her since my dolly’s got so sore

                                                        E
With the awful punching brother give it with his little sword

      A                           D             A
There aint no one to fix it since mamma’s gone away

                                         E             A
And poor little lonesome dolly’s getting thinner every day

                                     D                   A
My child the merchant murmured as he stroked the anxious brow

                                                   E
No telephone connection where your mother lives at now

   A                         D                  A
No telephone in heaven and a tear sprang in her eyes

                                  E             A
I thought God had everything with him up in the sky
