Bruce Springsteen - Hey, Western Union Man Lyrics

Bruce Springsteen Lyrics

"Hey, Western Union Man"
(originally by Jerry Butler)

Western Union man, send a telegram to my baby
Send a telegram, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram to my baby
This is what I want you to say

I want you to tell her that I'm all alone
I tried to call her on the phone
Tell her I'm in misery and I think she's avoiding me
And if the telegram don't do
Send a box of candy too, maybe some flowers
Tell her that I miss her for hours and hours

Send a telegram, send a telegram
Hurry up, send a telegram, man, to my baby
Do you hear what I say?

Western Union man, send a telegram
Oh, send a telegram to my baby
Western Union man, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram, send a telegram, come on
Send a telegram, man, to my baby
This is what I want you to do

Have you got a man you can send?
Well this is what I want him to do
I'd get him over there right away
And see if he can get my message through
No, not, not maybe tomorrow, you've to mail it right away
I want the girl to know that I missed her
Yeah, something like yesterday

Send a telegram, send a telegram, come on
Send a telegram, man, to my baby
Do you hear now what I say?

Western Union man, send a telegram
Oh, send a telegram to my baby
Western Union man, send a telegram
Oh, send a telegram, send a telegram, send it
Send a telegram, send a telegram to my baby
Do you hear what I say?
Come on

Western Union

Western Union man, send a telegram
Oh, send a telegram to my baby
Western Union man, send a telegram
Oh, send a telegram, come on now
Won't you send a telegram right to my baby
(Western Union man, send a telegram) Tell her that I'm all alone
(Send a telegram to my baby) Tell her that I'm waiting by the phone

(Western Union man, send a telegram) Western Union
(Send a telegram, send a telegram) Send a telegram right to my baby
(Western Union man, send a telegram) Western Union man
(Send a telegram to my baby) Tell her that I need her and I'm doing all I can
(Western Union man, send a telegram) Tell her to come on home
(Send a telegram, send a telegram) Send a telegram, come on
(Send a telegram) Send that telegram to my baby
(Western Union man, send a telegram)
(Send a telegram to my baby) Western Union Man
