Telephone Song

by B.B. King recording of 1996 from Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan (Epic 67599) Woke up this morning I was all alone Saw your picture by the telephone I was missing you oh so bad Wish I had you here to hold All I've got is this touch-tone phone So I guess I'll give you a call Operator help me please Get thru to my baby way overseas Time's wastin' oh so fast Hello baby tell me is that you I don't know what we're gonna do But for now I'm glad I got you on the line Well it feels so fine Knowing you're all right But you're miles away Lord it's not the same Well I woke up this morning I was all alone Saw your picture by the telephone I've been missing you baby oh so bad I love you baby with all my might Come on home and squeeze me tight Long distance lovin's Gonna drive me out of my mind

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
