Lyrics Sylvia's Mother

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
And the operator says forty cents more for the next three minutes
Please, Misses Avery
I just gotta talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Misses Avery I just wanna tell her 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
And the operator says forty cents more for the next three minutes
Please, Misses Avery
I just gotta talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Misses Avery I just wanna tell her goodbye
Sylvia's mother says
Sylvia's hurryin'
She's catchin' the nine o'clock train
Sylvia's mother says take your umbrella 'cos Sylvia it's startin' to rain
And Sylvia's mother says thank you for callin'
And Sir won't you call back again
And the operator says forty cents more for the next three minutes
Please, Misses Avery
I just gotta talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Misses Avery I just wanna tell her goodbye
Tell her goodbye
Please, tell her goodbye
