     I can't wait on, baby, the smiling merchant said, 
                                                   D 
    as he stooped and softly toyed with his golden curly head. 
       G                            C             G 
     want to call up mamma, came the answer full and free, 
                                         D            G           
     you telephone and ask her when she's coming back to me. 


G C child, the merchant murmured as he stroked the anxious brow, D telephone connection, where your mother lives at now. G G7 C G telephone in heaven? and a tear sprang in her eyes. D G thought God had everything with him up in the sky.
G C G her that I get so lonesome, that I don't know what to do, D and papa cries so much I guess, he must be lonesome too. G C G Tell her to come to baby, 'cause at night I get so 'fraid, D G with no one there to kiss me, when the lights begin to fade.
G C G All through the day I want her since my dolly's got so sore, D with the awful punching brother give it with his little sword. G C G There ain no one to fix it since mamma's gone away, D G and poor little lonesome dolly's getting thinner every day.
