He Is Coming to Us Dead - Grayson[00:00:00]

One morning when the office was opened[00:00:20]

A man quite old in years[00:00:22]

Entered the express office[00:00:25]

Showing signs of grief and tears[00:00:27]

And when the clerk approached him[00:00:30]

The old man then did say[00:00:32]

I'm waiting for my boy sir[00:00:35]

He's coming home today[00:00:37]

Well you have made a silly mistake[00:00:49]

And you must surely know[00:00:52]

This is the telegraph office sir[00:00:54]

And not a town depot[00:00:57]

If your boy is coming home[00:00:59]

The clerk did smile and say[00:01:02]

You'll find him with the passengers sir[00:01:04]

At the station just all the way[00:01:07]

You do not understand me sir[00:01:27]

The old man shook his head[00:01:30]

He's not a-coming as a passenger[00:01:32]

But by express instead[00:01:35]

He's coming home to mother[00:01:46]

The old man softly said[00:01:48]

He's coming home in a casket sir[00:01:50]

He's coming to us dead[00:01:53]

Then a whistle pierced their ears[00:01:56]

The express train someone cry[00:01:58]

The old man rose in a breathless haste[00:02:00]

And quickly rushed outside[00:02:03]

Then a long white casket[00:02:14]

Was lowered to the ground[00:02:16]

The scene was filled with the grief and pain[00:02:18]

Of those who gathered around[00:02:21]

Do not treat him harshly boys[00:02:23]

It contains our darling jack[00:02:26]

He went away as you boys are[00:02:28]

This way he's coming back[00:02:30]

He broke his poor old mother's heart[00:02:33]

Her fears have all come true[00:02:36]

She said its the way that he'd come back[00:02:38]

If he joined the boys in blue[00:02:40]
