HELLO CENTRAL!
Since my mama's gone to heaven, sobbed a tearful little child
Since my mama's gone to heaven, Papa, Darling, you don't smile
I will speak to hear and tell her that we want her to come home
Just you listen while I call her o'er the telephone.

CHORUS
Hello Central! Give me heaven, 'cause my mama's there
You will find her with the angels on the Golden strairs
She'll be glad it's me who's speaking, call her won't you please
For I sure do want to tell her, it's so lonesome here.

When the girl received the message, coming o'er the telephone
How her heart grieved at this moment and the wires seemed to moan
I will answer just to please her, yes, my dear, I'm coming home
Kiss me momma, kiss your darling, o'er the telephone.

CHORUS
