Is There Still Room for Me 'Neath the Old Apple Tree

Is There Still Room for Me 'Neath the Old Apple Tree - The Peerless Quartet

Hello there long distance

Please don't make me wait in vain

I asked you to connect me

With a homestead down in Maine

I hate to hold the wire

Don't get mad if I complain

I long to hear my sweetheart's voice again

Oh hello dear yes this is me

I'm many miles away

I'm lonesome and I just called up to say

Is there still room for me

'Neath the old apple tree

Where there once was a bench for two

Oh that bench wasn't long

And you know it wasn't strong

When I sat there with you

I've got fare back to Maine

And I'll jump on a train

If your heart beats as fond and as true

Is there still room for me

'Neath the old apple tree

If there is I'll come back to you

Listen operator

What's the matter with this phone

It seems to me you never

Had a sweetheart of your own

You say there's wire trouble

And you've got the numbers mixed

Well hurry up and get the wires fixed

Is that you dear

Yes I can hear

They cut us off somehow

I'm waiting and I want your asnwer now

Is there still room for me

'Neath the old apple tree

Where there once was a bench for two

Oh that bench wasn't long

And you know it wasn't strong

When I sat there with you

I've got fare back to Maine

And I'll jump on a train

If your heart beats as fond and as true

Is there still room for me

'Neath the old apple tree

If there is I'll come back to you
