(A. P. Carter)
Hello central, give me heaven
For I know my mother`s there
And you`ll find her with the angels
Over on the golden stair.
She`ll be glad it`s me a speaking
Won`t you call her for me please?
For I surely want to tell her
That we`re sad without her here.
Hello central, give me heaven
For I know my mother`s there
You will find her with the angels
Over on the golden stair.
Poppa dear is sad and lonely
Sobbed the tearful little child
Since momma`s gone to heaven
Poppa dear you do not smile.
I will speak to her and tell her
That we want her to come home
You just listen while I call her
Call her through the telephone.
I will answer just to please her
Yes, dear heart, I`ll soon come home
Kiss me momma, it`s your darling
Kiss me through the telephone...
