Hillbilly Telephone

Well, here's another story That's just not that known About the world's first invention Of the telephone They say a guy named Bell Is the father of the call Well, that's just a myth It's not true at all Before they put them wires on a pole We'd just shimmy up a tree They'd hear me holler five miles away Back then, the call was free And if we had to call long distance We'd send it by word of mouth I'd tell cousin Zeb to tell cousin Mable The biggest chatter box in the south We even had the first party line Tho that was not it's name We just called it an argument Til we found someone to blame Well, that's the story of the world's first phone And everything I said is true And if you have anymore questions at all Don't call us, now, we'll call you
