"Lightning Express"
CThe lightning express from the depot so grand
Had Fstarted out on its Cway
All of the passengers that were on board
SD7eemed to be happy and G7gay
CBut one little boy who sat by himself
Was Freading a letter he Chad
You could Fplainly tell by the Clook on his face
That the D7contents of G7it made him Csad
CThe stern old conductor then started his round
Taking Ftickets from everyone Cthere
And finally reaching the sad little boy
He D7gruffly demanded his G7fare
CI have no ticket the boy then replied
But FI'll pay you back Csomeday
Then I'll Fput you off at the Cnext stop we make
But he D7stopped when he G7heard the boy Csay
CPlease Mr. Conductor
Don't Fput me off of this Ctrain
The best friend I have in this world sir
D7Is waiting for me in G7pain
CExpecting to die any moment sir
And Fmay not live through the Cday
I Fwanna reach home and kiss Cmother goodbye
BeD7fore God G7takes her Caway
CA girl sitting near was heard to exclaim
If you Fput him off it's a Cshame
Taking his hand a collection she made
The D7boy's way was paid on the G7train
CI'm obliged to you miss for your kindness to me
You're Fwelcome she said never Cfear
Each Ftime the conductor would Cpass through the car
The D7boy's words would G7ring in his Cear
CPlease Mr. Conductor
Don't Fput me off of this Ctrain
The best friend I have in this world sir
D7Is waiting for me in G7pain
CExpecting to die any moment sir
And Fmay not live through the Cday
I Fwanna reach home and kiss Cmother goodbye
BeD7fore God G7takes her Caway
