Sylvia`s Mother Lyrics

Sylvia`s 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
