Here is a blast from the past.

This upcoming video I made in 2019 for the THEN Steemit music contest

I lived in a second floor apartment in one of the worst areas of Hotlanta, before the Mercedes Benz stadium was completed.

I hope you enjoy

Thanks for stopping by and commenting @freakshow90 , but it is actually:

"Hello! ma Baby”
Chorus:
"Hello! ma Baby, Hello! ma honey, Hello! ma ragtime gal,
Send me a kiss by wire, Baby, my heart's on fire!
If you refuse me, Honey, you'll lose me,
Then you'll be left alone,
Oh baby, telephone And tell me I'm your own,
V.1
I've got a little baby, but she's out of sight,
I talk to her across the telephone,
I've never seen ma honey, but she's mine, all right,
So take my tip, and leave this gal alone!
Every single morning, you will hear me yell,
"Hey Central! fix me up along the line,"
He connects me with ma honey Then I ring the bell,
And this is what I say to baby mine
Chorus
V.2
This morning, through the phone, She said her name was Bess,
And now I kind of know where I am at,
I'm satisfied because I've got my babe's address,
Here, pasted in the lining of my hat,
I am mighty scared, 'cause if the wires get crossed,
'Twill separate me from ma baby mine,
Then some other fool will win her, And my game is lost,
And so each day I shout along the line:

"Hello! ma Baby, Hello! ma honey, Hello! ma ragtime gal,
Send me a kiss by wire, Baby, my heart's on fire!
If you refuse me, Honey, you'll lose me,
Then you'll be left alone,
Oh baby, telephone And tell me I'm your own,

I cleaned it up quite a bit, because it was written with accents and phrases that were distinctly racist.
In that last verse for instance, the original lyrics said
then some other COON will win her and my game is lost
Pretty much any time you see "I've" the original said "I's"

In case you didn't know, this is all about talking on the telephone, which was VERY new at the time this was written
