(Justin Tubb)

Had our number changed today although I hated to
But each time the phone would ring they'd want to speak to you
And it hurt to tell them you weren't here with me
Maybe now ol' telephone will let me be.

It's not in the book so now you'd better write it down
Just in case your love for me should ever come around
You might want to call and break the news to me
Just call Lonesome 7-7203.

--- Instrumental ---

I keep the telephone beside me all the time
Hopin' you might wanna call and say you've changed your mind
If you do then darlin' you know where I'll be
I'm at Lonesome 7-7203...
