0:14The lightning express from the depot so grand
0:20Had started out on its way
0:27All of the passengers that gathered on board
0:33Seemed to be happy and gay
0:39But one little boy who sat by himself
0:45Was reading a letter he had
0:52You could plainly tell by the look on his face
0:58That the contents of it made him sad
1:05The stern old conductor then started his round
1:10Collecting tickets from everyone there
1:17And finally reaching the side of the boy
1:23He gruffly demanded his fare
1:29"I have no ticket" the boy then replied
1:35"But I'll pay you back someday"
1:41"Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make"
1:47But he stopped when he heard the boy say
1:55"Please Mr Conductor
2:01Don't put me off of this train
2:07The best friend I have in this world Sir
2:13Is waiting for me in pain"
2:20"Expecting to die any moment Sir
2:25And may not live through the day
2:32I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
2:38Before God takes her away"
2:57A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim
3:03"If you put him off it's a shame"
3:10Taking his hat a collection she made
3:16The boy's way was paid on the train
3:22"I'm obliged to you miss for your kindness to me"
3:28"You're welcome " she said never fear
3:34Each time the conductor would pass through the car
3:41The boy's words would ring in his ear
3:47'Please Mr Conductor
3:53Don't put me off of this train
4:00The best friend I have in this world sir
4:05Is waiting for me in pain'
4:12'Expecting to die any moment sir
4:18And may not live through the day
4:24I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
4:30Before God takes her away'
4:37I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
4:43Before God takes her away'
