Answer the Phone

Answer the Phone - Ernest Tubb

I've called and i've called you but each time i phone

They always tell me that you're not at home

I've written you letters and knocked at your door

But don't worry darlin i won't bother you any more

So answer the phone when it rings darlin

And if somebody knocks let them in

You don't have to be afraid that it's me

Cause i'll never bother you again

I'm writing this letter to tell you goodbye

Somebody told me how you sit and cry

Cause you've found a new love since i have been gone

And wish i'd forget you and that i'd leave you alone

So answer the phone when it rings darlin

And if somebody knocks let them in

You don't have to be afraid that it's me

Cause i'll never bother you again
