James Cotton - Take A Message lyrics

Album: Living The Blues (1994)

Everytime I am relaxing, the telephone rings
Man, it is really getting to me, I really hate that thing.
Take a message baby, just tell ‘em I am not home
Yea, those telephone people,
They just don´t leave you alone.

It might be the neighbor, the insurance man
It could be the boss man, girl, I just don´t give a damn.
Take a message baby, Tell ‘em all that I am up to date
I just don´t feel much like talking,
Nobody listens anyway – makes me so mad!

Everytime me & my baby, is getting´ in the groove
The telephone rings & it blows my attitude
Take a message baby, just tell ‘em I am not here
You can tell ‘em all the same thing
Yea, when they call back again.

That telephone keeps ringing, If I get one more call
Going to take my 10-pound hammer, knock it right off the wall.
Take a message baby, just tell ‘em I am not home
Yea, the nerve of some people,
They just don´t leave you alone.
