7 Austin LIVE!! DVD - Telephony Blues (ORIGINAL)

Scenes from a live DVD that does not exist.

Austin talks about Piedmont bluesman Mississippi John Hurt and performs an original song, Telephony Blues, on acoustic guitar.

Lyrics:
I'm'on call you up, baby
won't you pick up the phone
Yes I called you up, babe
Now won't you pick up that phone
well, won't you answer me, baby
I know you're sittin' right at home

Why won't you answer me, baby
Hear that telephone ring
Won't you answer me, baby
Can't you hear it sing
Well I wish this was somethin' new, babe
But it's just that same old thing
And if I hear it one more time, babe
I think I'm gonna go insane

This is the last straw, babe
I'm'on burn your house to the ground
That was the last straw, baby
I'm'on burn your house right down
I'm'on set your house on fire, baby
Without makin' any sound
Yeah and then I'm gonna run away from it, baby
Before them police come around

That song is great!

Reminds me of "I gotta brand new razor and a 44 gun, gonna cut you if you stay here gonna shoot you if you run....Oh my baby why don't you come home?"
