"Hello Central, Give Me Heaven" sung by Byron G. Harlan

[dickiekaplan]

So Beautiful. My Father sang this to us when I was a child 60 years ago. It brings tears to my eyes for so many reasons.

I will speak to her and tell her That we want her to come home Just you listen and I'll call her Call her through the telephone When the girl received this message Coming o'er the telephone How her heart thrilled in that moment And the wires seemed to moan I will answer just to please her Yes, dear heart, I'll soon come home Kiss me Mama, kiss your darling Kiss me through the telephone

@horarwgt Thank you for taking the time to post the lyrics. :)

Papa, I'm so sad and lonely Sobbed a tearful little child Since dear Mama's gone to heaven Papa dear, you do not smile Hello Central give me heaven For I know my mother's there You will find her with the angels Over on the golden stair She'll be glad it's me a-speaking Won't you call her for me please For I surely want to tell her That we're sad without her here

What a delightful song! Unfortunately I don't have that telephone number :-)

Byron G. Harlan's 2-minute cylinders are always a pleasure to listen to. He is my favorite sentimental singer of the early recording era.

I have this song on a 1945 Columbia record, translated into Norwegian.

You have a lot of calming records!
