Hello! Ma Baby Tab par Arthur Collins

F
I've got a little baby, but she's out of sight, 
      F          Cdim          C7
I talk to her across the telephone;
       C7 
I've never seen ma honey, but she's mine, all right; 
     C7               Bdim          F
So take my tip, and leave this gal alone!
  F 
Ev'ry single morning, you will hear me yell, 
        D7                         Gm
"Hey Central ! fix me up along the line."
       Bb               E7 
He connects me with ma honey
   F                  D7 
      Then I ring the bell,
      G7            C        Bdim C7 
And this is what I say to Baby Mine: 

 F
"Hello ! ma Baby, 
 D7
Hello ! ma honey, 
 G7
Hello ! ma ragtime gal, 
 C7
Send me a kiss by wire,
 F         E7        C7 
Baby, my heart's on fire !
 F 
If you refuse me, 
 D7
Honey, you'll lose me, 
 G7
Then you'll be left alone; 
 C7
Oh baby, telephone 
 F
And tell me I'm your own, 
 
Hello ! hello ! hello ! there ! " 
(repeat chorus) 
C Bdim C7

This morning, through the phone, 
        she said her name was Bess. 
F                 Cdim            C7
And now I kind of know where I am at; 
     C7
I'm satisfied because I've got my babe's address,
         C7           Bdim         F
Here, pasted in the lining of my hat. 
F
I am mighty scared, 
     'Cause if the wires get crossed, 
        D7                      Gn
'Twill separate me from ma baby mine,
           Bb          E7
Then some other guy will win her, 
             F          D7
      And my game is lost,
    G7                             C      Bdim C7 
And so each day I shout along the line: 
 F
"Hello ! ma Baby, 
 D7
Hello ! ma honey, 
 G7
Hello ! ma ragtime gal, 
 C7
Send me a kiss by wire,
 F         E7        C7 
Baby, my heart's on fire !
 F 
If you refuse me, 
 D7
Honey, you'll lose me, 
 G7
Then you'll be left alone; 
 C7
Oh baby, telephone 
 F
And tell me I'm your own, 
 C       Bdim    C7      F
Hello ! hello ! hello ! there !" 
(repeat chorus)
