Hello Central, Give Me Heaven

(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...
