Sylvias Mother Lyrics

Sylvia's mother says "Sylvia's busy"
"Too busy to come to the
phone"
Sylvia's mother says "Sylvia's tryin'"
"To start a new life of her
own"
Sylvia's mother says "Sylvia's happy"
"So why don't you leave her
alone?"

CHORUS
And the operator says "40 cents more for the next 3
minutes"
Ple-ease Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her
I'll only keep her
a while
Please Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell 'er goodbye

Sylvia's
mother says "Sylvia's packin'"
"She's gonna be leavin' today"
Sylvia's
mother says "Sylvia's marryin' "
"A fella down Galveston way"
Sylvia's
mother says "Please don't say nothin'"
"To make her start cryin' and
stay"

CHORUS

Sylvia's mother says "Sylvia's hurryin' "
"She's
catchin' the nine o'clock train"
Sylvia's mother says "Take your
umbrella"
"cause Sylvie, it's startin' to rain"
And Sylvia's mother says
"thank you for callin'"
"And, sir, won't you call back
again?"

CHORUS


Tell her goodbye

FADE
Please
Tell
her goodbye
