Call Letter Blues (9/16/74 Take 2)

[Verse 1]

Well, I walked all night long

Hearin' them church bells tone

Yes, I walked all night long

Listen to them church bells tone

Either someone needing mercy

Or might be somethin' I've done wrong

[Verse 2]

Well, your friends come by for you

I don't know what to say

Well, your friends come by for you

I don't know what to say

I just can't face to tell 'em

Honey, you just went away

[Verse 3]

The children cry for mother

I tell 'em, "Mother took a trip"

Well, the children cry for mother

I tell 'em, "Mother took a trip"

Well, I walk on pins and needles

I hope my tongue don't slip

[Verse 4]

Well, I gaze at passing strangers

In case I might see you

Yes, I gaze at passing strangers

In case I might see you

But the sun goes around the heavens

And another day just drives on through

[Verse 5]

Way out in the distance

I know you're with some other man

Way out in the distance

I know you're with some other man

But that's alright, baby

You know I always understand

[Verse 6]

Call girls in the doorway

All givin' me the eye

Call girls in the doorway

All givin' me the eye

But my heart's just not in it

I might as well pass right on by

[Verse 7]

My ears are ringin'

Ringin' like empty shells

My ears are ringin'

Ringin' like empty shells

Well, it can't be no guitar player

It must be combat bells
