Any ideas? The song was played in the New Orleans jazz era around 1920s |

The album "New Orleans 1922" credits Max Kortlander and Wendling. Max Kortlander, a pianist and composer who made many piano rolls, recorded "Whenever You're Lonesome, Just Telephone Me" in 1922. Haven't seen the George Lewis re-issue. |

Emma Barrett alters the wording slightly from verse to verse: If ever you're lonesome, just telephone me. Whenever you're by your ownsome and want company. If blues overtake you, I'll never forsake you. You know your heart will be waiting for you. Now this world may divide us from 'Frisco to Maine. But I'd walk a million miles to see your sweet smile again. Your kisses and your laughter are worth running after. If ever you get lonesome, telephone me. Hope that helps! |
