The Party Line
One long ring; that is for me
One long and one short, Mrs. McGee
Two long rings for the farmer Scholl
As the phone would ring a distinctive toll
Down the road on a line of eight
As the bell would ring we all would wait
One would answer; three would listen in
That is the way it was on a party line back then
