paroles de chanson Sylvia's Mother - Bobby Bare

Sylvia's mother says
"Sylvia's busy, too busy to come to the phone"
Sylvia's mother says
"Sylvia's trying to start a new life of her own"
Sylvia's mother says
"Sylvia's happy, now why don't you leave her alone?"

The operator says, "40 cents more
For the next three minutes"

Please, Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please, Mrs. Avery, I just want to tell her goodbye
Goodbye

Sylvia's mother says
"Sylvia's packin', she's gonna be leavin' today"
Sylvia's mother says
"Sylvia's marryin' a fellow down Galveston way"
Sylvia's mother says
"Please don't say nothin' to make her start cryin' and stay"

The operator says, "40 cents more
For the next three minutes"

Please, Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please, Mrs. Avery, I just want to tell her goodbye
Goodbye

Sylvia's mother says
"Sylvia's hurryin', catchin' the nine o'clock plane"
Sylvia's mother says
"Take your umbrella, 'cause Sylvia, it's startin' to rain"
Sylvia's mother says
"Thank you for callin' and sir, won't you call back again"

And the operator says, "40 cents more
For the nest three minutes"

Ah please, Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please, Mrs. Avery, I just want to tell her goodbye
Goodbye

Please, Mrs. Avery, I just want to talk to her...
