HELLO MY BABY
by Megan Lynch - http://meganlynch.net/
originally performed by Arthur Collins
A
I've got a little baby, but she's out of sight,
B E
I talk to her across the telephone.
I've never seen my honey but she's mine all right,
E7 A
So take my tip and leave this gal alone.
Every single morning you will hear me yell,
A7 D
"Hey Central! Fix me up along the line."
D Dm A F#7
He connects me with ma honey, then I rings the bell,
B7 E7
And this is what I say to baby mine,
[chorus]
A B
Hello! ma baby, Hello! Ma honey, Hello! ma ragtime gal.
E7 A G# E7
Send me a kiss by wire, baby my heart's on fire!
A F# B7
If you refuse me, Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone;
E E7 A
Oh baby, telephone and tell me I'm your own.
E A
Hello! Hello! Hello there.
A
This morning, through the phone, she said her name was Bess.
B E
And now I kind of know where I am at;
E
I'm satisfied because I've got my babe's address,
E7 A
Here, pasted in the lining of my hat.
I am mighty scared, 'Cause if the wires get crossed,
A7 D
'Twill separate me from ma baby mine,
D Dm A F#7
Then some other guy will win her, And my game is lost,
B7 E7
And so each day I shout along the line:
[chorus]
A B
Hello! ma baby, Hello! Ma honey, Hello! ma ragtime gal.
E7 A G# E7
Send me a kiss by wire, baby my heart's on fire!
A F# B7
If you refuse me, Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone;
E E7 A
Oh baby, telephone and tell me I'm your own.
E A
Hello! Hello! Hello there.
Lyrics and Music by Ida Emerson and Joseph E. Howard (1899)
