Hallo western union

Won't you listen to me man? 

Had no time to say "good bye"

So take th is telegram

While I'm gone

She got to hold on to my love

While I'm gone

She got to hold on to my love



Breaks my heart to leave her

But I'm working with this band

I've got one chance to make it now

Please make her understand

That while I'm gone

She got to hold on to my love

While I'm gone

She got to hold on to my love

Don't give it away



Oh yeahuh huh

So come on operator

And get my message through

She don't need to write me ev'ry day

All she's gotta do is hold on

Hold on to my love

While I'm gone

She got to hold on to my love

Don't let it slip away



Hold on

Hold on to my love

Hold on

Hold on to my love
