Vaughan, Stevie Ray - Telephone Song Lyrics






Woke up this morning I was all alone
Saw your picture by the telephone
I was missing you oh so bad
Wish I had you here to hold
All I've got is this touch-tone phone
So I guess I'll give you a call

Operator help me please
Get thru to my baby way overseas
Time's a wastin' oh so fast
Hello baby tell me is that you
I don't know what we're gonna do
But for now I'm glad I got you on the line

Well it feels so fine
Knowing you're all right
But you're miles away
Lord it's not the same

Well I woke up this morning I was all alone
Saw your picture by the telephone
I've been missing you baby oh so bad
I love you baby with all my might
Come on home and squeeze me tight
Long distance lovin's gonna drive me out of my mind

[spoken words as music fades]

You better come on home baby
I'm about to go crazy
Im tired a huggin' my pillow at night
It sure don't kiss as good as you
Know all them pictures you gave me?
Well them lips won't move at all
And them clothes in the closet
They look a lot better on you than they do on the hangers
Besides, I just can't wait to get my arms around you
Come on home

  6. n.... t....

    its impossible not to like this song, really

  7. M.... B....

    I was looking for the song about telephones by the chordettes and stumbled upon this instead. Best mistake I've made in a long time.

  8. T.... K....

    Sounds as awesome now as when I bought that album 30 years ago. Goddamn....HITTIN that wah-wah pedal!!!

  9. S.... M....

    Singing is so amazing! What a groove! “I’m tired of hugging that pillow at night”-how fun

  10. T.... T....

    Damn! Good old Vaughan Brothers.

  11. S.... M....

    SRV wrote this and recorded with his brother Jimmy. In another version BB King sings Stevie’ s song in tribute to him after his death, with brother Jimmy also playing.

  12. A.... s....

    Every time I hear this or any other SRV solo, it makes me start dancing (awkwardly in my chair) and wish I could go back to childhood and start practicing! Love you, Stevie!😍

  13. E.... Z....

    This song gives me the chills every time since 89

  14. M.... R....

    SRV is one of the best!!! He exemplifies guitar music to an utmost theory, although he can't read a lick of music... So natural... so fine!!!

  15. Y.... ....

    Smooth mother fucker .... 😎

  16. C.... F....

    May the groove be with you in the after life god bless you

  17. J.... G....

    Excellent guitar player, one of the best if not the best ever

  18. g.... ....

    Wonderful Stevie Ray. I love the man and his Music.

  19. G.... S....

    I broke down at his passing

  20. o.... ....

    Gosh i miss SRV, now the only blues player we hear about is the hack John Mayer

  21. T.... B....

    This is a Great song! I really like it! SRV is the Greatest!!!!!

  22. J.... G....

    THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is how you play a wah-wah pedal solo. Just perfect

    J.... G....

    James Green what pedal ?

    J.... G....

    A wan pedal

  23. d.... ....

    I love it when he snaps that Strat to the back pick up and stomps the wah at the same time to launch the solo. Wow.

  24. s.... ....

    Strato sferico
    Stevie

  25. J.... S....

    i still get chills listening to this RIP SRV

  26. F.... C....

    One of the greatest songs ever made, and arguably the greatest guitar player ever!
    Such an inspiration.
    Love u forever Stevie.
    Forever In my heart

  27. O.... P....

    blues music is my only drugs
    SRV is good

  28. F.... C....

    F.... C....

    reminds me of the late great Gary moore!

    SRV was the "perfect storm" at the perfect time in music history....the playing, the voice, the music, the persona.

  33. R.... V....

    That solo gives me goosebumps every time I hear it... One of his best IMHO

    R.... V....

    Its a fact dude

    R.... V....

    One of the best unknown songs, incredible solo

    R.... V....

    It sounds like its coming out of a wall of Marshalls turned right up. Hot valves apparently, lasted three shows or so.

  34. S.... W....

    I love this song. Sitting here reminiscing of years gone by. This song reminds me of my Aunty Eileen and Uncle Deacon. Bless them both xxx

  35. J.... B....

    Funky as ever! SRV

  36. A.... A....

    Just posted a cover of Stevie's Rude Mood yesterday, hope you like it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qUwZdL3jnc

  45. D.... G....

    Bad ass blues

  46. R.... ....

    but wath kind of music is????   Jazz-rock ??

    R.... ....

    @RRaferre the groove is kinda funky

    R.... ....

    Definitely funk

    R.... ....

    Good music!

    R.... ....

    Blues-funk. If you play the blues correctly, you have soul and you likely have a good bit of the funk. The three intersect quite a bit--all involve honesty (which is the key to anything soulful). The main riff is funky AF tho

    R.... ....

    Soul and rock baby

  47. S.... G....

    One of his best! 

  48. D.... L....

    Straordinario  !!!!

  49. D.... M....

    Damn, Stevie just rips this. What a groove. 

  50. f.... ....

    my favorite

  51. s.... ....

    dang what a sick jam

  52. M.... B....

    I have order me some Stevie Ray Vaughn for my music collection.

  53. M.... B....

    Stevie Ray was sexy. I heard this on the radio at work. I like this.

  54. S.... L....

    I've lived the situation he was singing about in this song. As a matter of fact there was not a song he performed that I could not relate to.

    S.... L....

    Thats the thing about srv

    S.... L....

    I'm living this situation now. Thank God for facetime. Tho the phone is a lousy kisser too.

  55. C.... M....

    The only funk style song I can actually listen to!

  56. D.... B....

    Damn these dumb ass commercials cutting the intro to the songs off! That needs to go away.

    D.... B....

    Dan B it's in every video I try to play.

  57. g.... ....

    I don't care who ya are... the solo on this track absolutely SHREDS!! SHREDS I tellz ya!!

  58. g.... ....

    Agreed, and that's saying a ton man!!

  59. n.... g....

    One of the greatest guitarists in my opinion who else agrees?

  60. D.... G....

    Love this song!! Can definitely relate. Swear I've heard it somewhere, just not on my current collection.

  61. k.... ....

    Thank you very much for this. i only heard it for the 1st time earlier this year. Don't know how i missed it before. Quite a find!

  62. d.... ....

    Because there's a music monopoly. We eat what they feed us...and artists with a mind are dangerous.

  63. B.... C....

    HEY HEMORROID,When you fuck with the true folk ...WE come and pay you a visit!!! This NOT TUNE for your liking It's for ALL MUSIC so when your shit has bump don't worry,We're here to set your ass on a correct path! :/
