Lyrics
OL? TELEPHONE Johnny Maddox (Copyright 2001)
All alone in the evening, time?s running down
Watchin? TV and the late night show
Ain?t nothing been happening, just sitting by the Ol? telephone
Friends ain?t been ringin?, nobody?s hangin? out
Just wanta go have some fun
I think I?m going crazy, got too much time alone
I hope they all know I?m home
Just sitting by the Ol? telephone
Just sitting by, by, by, by ? by the Ol? telephone
My rhythm bone?s ringin?, no place to go
It?s no time sittin? and singin? the blues
I feel like jumpin?, the radio station got my heart thumpin?
I don?t like beggin?, I wish I?s steppin? out
Someone call me, let me go
I?ve gotta get moving, my heart?s just keepin? time
I keep checkin?, no-ones on the line
I?m sittin? by - by the Ol? telephone
Just sittin? by, by, by, by,by, by the O?l telephone
Full turn
The phone bell?s ringin?, I pick up and say hello
They ask for someone I don?t know
I?ve been waitin?, sittin? home all alone
I?m so glad someone?s on my phone
(3 times)
Just sittin? by ? by the Ol? telephone
I?m sittin? by, by, by, by, by, by the Ol? telephone
