Is There Still Room for Me 'Neath the Old Apple Tree lyrics

Hello there, long-distance, please don't make me wait in vain

I asked you to connect me with a homestead down in Maine

I hate to hold the wire, don't get mad if I complain

I long to hear my sweetheart's voice again

Oh, hello dear, yes, this is me, I'm many miles away

I'm lonesome and I just called up to say:

Is there still room for me

'Neath the old apple tree

Where there once was a bench for two?

Oh, that bench wasn't long

And you know it wasn't strong

When I sat there with you

I've got fare back to Maine

And I'll jump on a train

If your heart beats as fond and as true

Is there still room for me

'Neath the old apple tree?

If there is, I'll come back to you

Listen, operator, what's the matter with this phone?

It seems to me you never had a sweetheart of your own

You say there's wire trouble and you've got the numbers mixed

Well, hurry up and get the wires fixed

Is that you, dear? Yes, I can hear, they cut us off somehow

I'm waiting and I want your answer now

Is there still room for me

'Neath the old apple tree

Where there once was a bench for two?

Oh, that bench wasn't long

And you know it wasn't strong

When I sat there with you

I've got fare back to Maine

And I'll jump on a train

If your heart beats as fond and as true

Is there still room for me

'Neath the old apple tree?

If there is, I'll come back to you
