Teddy Bear Lyrics - Country Legends Back To Back, Vol. 3 - Ferlin Husky

I was on the outskirts of a little southern town 

Trying to reach my destination before the sun went down 

The old CB was blarin' away on Channel 1-9 

When there came a little boy's voice on the radio line 

 

And he said, "Breaker 1-9, is anyone there? 

Come on back truckers and talk to Teddy Bear" 

I keyed the mike and I said, "You got it, Teddy Bear" 

And the little boy's voice came back on the air 

 

"Appreciate the breaker who we got on that end" 

I told him my handle and then he began 

"Though I'm not supposed to bother you fellows out there 

Mom says you're busy and for me to stay off the air" 

 

But you see, I get lonely and it helps to talk 

'Cause that's about all I can do, I'm crippled and I can't walk 

I came back and told him to fire up that mike 

And I'd talk to him as long as he'd liked

"This was my dad's radio", the little boy said 

But I guess it's mine and mom's now 'cause my daddy's dead 

Dad had a wreck about a month ago 

He was tryin' to get home in a blinding snow 

 

Mom has to work now to make ends meet 

And I'm not much help with my two crippled feet 

She says not to worry that we'll make it alright 

But I hear her cryin' sometimes late at night 

 

You know there's one thing I want more than anything else to see 

Oh, I know you guys are too busy to bother with me 

But you see, my dad used to take me for rides when he was home 

But I guess that's all over now since my daddy's gone 

 

Not one breaker came on the old CB 

As that little crippled boy talked with me 

I tried hard to swallow a lump just wouldn't stay down 

As I thought about my boy back in Greenville town

Dad was gonna take mom and me with him later on this year 

Why I remember him sayin' someday 

This old truck will be yours, Teddy Bear 

But I know now I'll never get a ride on 18-wheeler again 

But this old base'll keep me in touch with all my trucker friends 

 

Teddy Bear's gonna back on out now and leave you alone 

Cause it's about time for mom to come home 

But you give me shout when you're passin' through 

And I'll surely be happy to come back to you 

 

Well, I came back and I said before you go 10-10 

What's your home twenty, little CB friend 

He gave me his address and I didn't once hesitate 

Cause this hot load of freight would just have to wait 

 

I turned that truck around on a dime 

And headed straight for Jackson Street two two nine 

And as I rounded the corner, oh, I got one the heck of a shock 

Eighteen-wheeler were lined up for three city blocks 

 

I guess every driver for miles around had caught Teddy Bear's call 

And that little crippled boy was havin' a ball 

For as fast as one driver would carry him in 

Another would carry him to his truck and take off again 

 

Well, you better believe I took my turn rifin' Teddy Bear 

And then carried him back in and put him down in his chair 

And buddy, if I never live to see happiness again 

I want you to know I saw it that day in the face of that little man 

 

We took up a collection for him before his mama got home 

And each driver said goodbye and then they were all gone 

He shook my hand with a mile long grin 

And said, "So long trucker, I'll catch you again" 

Ah, I hit that interstate with tears in my eyes 

 

I turned on the radio and I got another surprise 

Breaker 1-9 came the voice on the air 

Just one word of thanks from mama, Teddy Bear 

We wish each and everyone a special prayer for you 

Cause you just made my little boy's dream come true 

I'll sign off now before I start to cry 

May God ride with you 10-4 and goodbye
