HELLO MY BABY
              by Megan Lynch - http://meganlynch.net/
              originally performed by Arthur Collins



A (x02220@1)I've got a little baby, but she's out of sight,
                 B (x2444x@1)          EI (022100@1)talk to her across the telephone.
 
I've never seen my honey but she's mine all right,
                     E7 (020130@1)           ASo (x02220@1)take my tip and leave this gal alone.
 
Every single morning you will hear me yell,
      A7 (x02020@1)                         D"Hey (xx0232@1)Central! Fix me up along the line."
       D (xx0232@1)              Dm (xx0231@1)       A (x02220@1)         F#7He (242352@1)connects me with ma honey, then I rings the bell,
     B7 (x21202@1)                       E7And (020130@1)this is what I say to baby mine,

(chorus) 
A (x02220@1)                             BHello! (x2444x@1)ma baby, Hello! Ma honey, Hello! ma ragtime gal.
E7 (020130@1)                     A (x02220@1)    Ab (xx1114@1)        E7Send (020130@1)me a kiss by wire, baby my heart's on fire!
A (x02220@1)               F# (244322@1)                   B7 (x21202@1)              
If you refuse me, Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone;
         E (022100@1)           E7 (020130@1)             A (x02220@1)         
Oh baby, telephone and tell me I'm your own.
      E (022100@1)             A (x02220@1)             
Hello! Hello! Hello there.

AThis (x02220@1)morning, through the phone, she said her name was Bess. 
                   B (x2444x@1)            EAnd (022100@1)now I kind of know where I am at;

I'm satisfied because I've got my babe's address, 
                    E7 (020130@1)         AHere, (x02220@1)pasted in the lining of my hat.

I am mighty scared,  'Cause if the wires get crossed, 
          A7 (x02020@1)                    D'Twill (xx0232@1)separate me from ma baby mine, 
         D (xx0232@1)             Dm (xx0231@1)          A (x02220@1)      F#7Then (242352@1)some other guy will win her, And my game is lost, 
     B7 (x21202@1)                         E7And (020130@1)so each day I shout along the line:

(REPEAT CHORUS)
