Eric Donaldson - Sylvia's Mother

Sylvia's mother say, Sylvie is busy
Too busy to come to the phone
Sylvia's mother say, Sylvie is trying
To start a new life of her own
Sylvia's mother say, Sylvie is happy
So why don't you leave her alone

And the operator says
"Forty cents more, for the next three minutes"
Please Misses Avery, I, just got to talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Misses Avery, I, just got to tell her
Goodbye

Sylvia's mother says, Sylvie is packing
She's going be leaving today
Sylvia's mother says Sylvie is marrying
A fellow down Galveston-Way
Sylvia's mother says, please don't say nothing
To make her start crying and stay

And the operator says
"Forty cents more, for the next three minutes"
Please Misses Avery, I, just got to talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Misses Avery, I, just got to tell her
Goodbye..
