call collect on christmas - del mccoury lyrics
[verse 1]
when i was just a boy i started ramblin’
i left my mountain home and mother dear
she held ’em close to her breast and she made this last request
call me on the phone just once a year
[chorus]
don’t forget to call collect on christmas
that’s the last words i heard my mother say
while i’m waiting here alone i’ll be sitting by the phone
i just want to hear your voice on christmas day
[verse 2]
so every year on christmas i would call her
i’d tell her i’d be home before too long
but this year when i called
there was no answer there at all
i knew right then there must be something wrong
[chorus]
don’t forget to call collect on christmas
that’s the last words i heard my mother say
while i’m waiting here alone i’ll be sitting by the phone
i just want to hear your voice on christmas day
[verse 3]
the ones who found her said she tried to call the doctor
where she laid, she had been reachin’ for the phone
but in my heart i knew that she had been reachin’ out for me
the one who went away and left her all alone
[chorus]
don’t forget to call collect on christmas
that’s the last words i heard my mother say
while i’m waiting here alone i’ll be sitting by the phone
i just want to hear your voice on christmas day
