Lightning Express - The Everly Brothers[00:00:00]
Written by:Kincaid[00:00:00]
The lightning express from the depot so grand[00:00:06]
Had started out on it's way[00:00:13]
All of the passengers that were on board[00:00:21]
Seemed to be happy and gay[00:00:27]
But one little boy who sat by himself[00:00:34]
Was reading a letter he had[00:00:41]
You could plainly tell by the look on his face[00:00:48]
That the contents of it made him sad[00:00:55]
The stern old conductor then started his round[00:01:02]
Taking tickets from everyone there[00:01:08]
And finally reaching the side of the boy[00:01:16]
He gruffly demanded his fare[00:01:22]
I have no ticket the boy then replied[00:01:29]
But I'll pay you back someday[00:01:36]
Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make[00:01:43]
But he stopped when he heard the boy say[00:01:50]
Please Mr Conductor[00:01:58]
Don't put me off of this train[00:02:04]
The best friend I have in this world sir[00:02:11]
Is waiting for me in pain[00:02:18]
Expecting to die any moment sir[00:02:26]
And may not live through the day[00:02:33]
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye[00:02:40]
Before God takes her away[00:02:47]
A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim[00:02:54]
If you put him off it's a shame[00:03:01]
Taking his hand a collection she made[00:03:09]
The boy's way was paid on the train[00:03:15]
I'm obliged to you miss for your kindness to me[00:03:22]
You're welcome she said never fear[00:03:29]
Each time the conductor would pass through the car[00:03:36]
The boy's words would ring in his ear[00:03:43]
Please Mr Conductor[00:03:51]
Don't put me off of this train[00:03:57]
The best friend I have in this world sir[00:04:04]
Is waiting for me in pain[00:04:11]
Expecting to die any moment sir[00:04:18]
And may not live through the day[00:04:25]
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye[00:04:32]
Before God takes her away[00:04:40]
