Text or lyrics : | The lightning express from the depot so grand
Had started out on it's way All of the passengers that were on board Seemed to be happy and gay But one little boy who sat by himself Was reading a letter he had You could plainly tell by the look on his face That the contents of it made him sad The stern old conductor then started his round Taking tickets from everyone there And finally reaching the side of the boy He gruffly demanded his fare "I have no ticket" the boy then replied "But I'll pay you back someday" "Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make" But he stopped when he heard the boy say "Please Mr. Conductor Don't put me off of this train The best friend I have in this world sir Is waiting for me in pain Expecting to die any moment sir And may not live through the day I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye Before God takes her away" A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim "If you put him off, it's a shame" Taking his hand, a collection she made The boy's way was paid on the train "I'm obliged to you miss for your kindness to me" "You're welcome," she said, never fear Each time the conductor would pass through the car The boy's words would ring in his ear "Please Mr. Conductor Don't put me off of this train The best friend I have in this world sir Is waiting for me in pain Expecting to die any moment sir And may not live through the day I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye Before God takes her away" |
