In 1921, Irving Kaufman recorded a song about the radio entitled, “I Wish There Was a Wireless to Heaven” lyrics by Jos. Manuel and Harry White and music by Willy White. The chorus went like this:
Chorus
I wish there was a "Wireless" to Heaven,
And I could speak to Mama ev'ry day,
I would let her know, by the Radio,
I'm so lonesome since she went away.
I wish that I could only send a message,
And hear my Mama answer me and say,
"Hush a bye my darling, dry your tears, don't cry,
Mama dear is watching baby from the sky."
I wish there was a "Wireless" to Heaven,
Then Mama would not seem so far away.
You can listen to an MP3 of the song at earlyradiohistory.us.
