(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...
