Call Letter Blues - Take 1

Well, I walked all night long

Listenin' to them church bells tone

Yes, I walked all night long

Listenin' to them church bells tone

Either someone needing mercy

Or maybe something I've done wrong

Well, your friends come by for you

I don't know what to say

Well, your friends come by for you

I don't know what to say

I just can't face up to tell 'em

Honey, you just went away

Well, children cry for mother

I tell them, "Mother took a trip"

Well, children cry for mother

I tell them, "Mother took a trip"

Well, I walk on pins and needles

I hope my tongue don't slip

Well, I gaze at passing strangers

In case I might see you

Yes, I gaze at passing strangers

In case I might see you

But the sun goes around the heavens

And another day just drives on through

Way out in the distance

I know you're with some other man

Way out in the distance

I know you're with some other man

But that's alright, baby

You know I always understand

Call girls in the doorway

All giving me the eye

Call girls in the doorway

All giving me the eye

But my heart's just not in it

I might as well pass right on by

My ears are ringin'

Ringin' like empty shells

My ears are ringin'

Ringin' like empty shells

Well, it can't be no guitar player

It must be convent bells
