Good Bye My Lady Love

Song :
G

C 
I've got a little baby, but she's out of sight,
                 D            G
I talk to her across the telephone.
 
I've never seen my honey but she's mine all right,
                     G7             C
So take my tip and leave this gal alone.
 
Every single morning you will hear me yell,
      C7                           F
"Hey Central! Fix me up along the line."
       F                Fm         C           A7
He connects me with ma honey, then I rings the bell,
     D7                         G7
And this is what I say to baby mine,

Chorus 

      C 
Hello! ma baby  
A7 
Hello! ma honey  
D7 
Hello! ma ragtime gal  

G7 
Send me a kiss by wire  
C                B            
Baby, ma heart's on fire!  
C 
If you refuse me  
A7 
Honey, you'll lose me  
D7 
Then you'll be left alone  
                  G7 
Oh, baby, telephone  

Gdim G7                        
And tell me I'm your own! 
C     F     C    G7

      G               C               
Hello! Hello! Hello there.


      C
This morning, through the phone, 
she said her name was Bess. 
                   D              G
And now I kind of know where I am at; 

I'm satisfied because I've got my babe's address, 
                    G7           C
Here, pasted in the lining of my hat. 

I am mighty scared, 'Cause if the wires get crossed, 
          C7                      F
'Twill separate me from ma baby mine, 
         F               Fm            C        A7
Then some other guy will win her, And my game is lost, 
     D7                           G7
And so each day I shout along the line: 


      C 
Hello! ma baby  
A7 
Hello! ma honey  
D7 
Hello! ma ragtime gal  

G7 
Send me a kiss by wire  
C                B            
Baby, ma heart's on fire!  
C 
If you refuse me  
A7 
Honey, you'll lose me  
D7 
Then you'll be left alone  
                  G7 
Oh, baby, telephone  

Gdim G7                        
And tell me I'm your own! 
C     F     C
