Lightnin’ Express - The Everly Brothers (艾佛利兄弟)[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[00:00:20]
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[00:00:40]
You could plainly tell by the look on his face[00:00:47]
That the contents of it made him sad[00:00:54]
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[00:01:15]
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[00:01:35]
Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make[00:01:42]
But he stopped when he heard the boy say[00:01:49]
Please Mr Conductor[00:01:57]
Don't put me off of this train[00:02:03]
The best friend I have in this world sir[00:02:10]
Is waiting for me in pain[00:02:17]
Expecting to die any moment sir[00:02:25]
And may not live through the day[00:02:31]
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye[00:02:38]
Before God takes her away[00:02:46]
A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim[00:02:53]
If you put him off it's a shame[00:03:00]
Taking his hand a collection she made[00:03:07]
The boy's way was paid on the train[00:03:13]
I'm obliged to you miss for[00:03:20]
Your kindness to me[00:03:24]
You're welcome she said never fear[00:03:27]
Each time the conductor[00:03:34]
Would pass through the car[00:03:38]
The boy's words would ring in his ear[00:03:41]
Please Mr Conductor[00:03:49]
Don't put me off of this train[00:03:55]
The best friend I have in this world sir[00:04:02]
Is waiting for me in pain[00:04:09]
Expecting to die any moment sir[00:04:17]
And may not live through the day[00:04:23]
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye[00:04:30]
Before God takes her away[00:04:38]
