Lyrics

0:00Lighting Express - The Everly Brothers (艾佛利兄弟)
0:07The lightning express from the depot so grand
0:13Had started out on it's way
0:21All of the passengers that were on board
0:28Seemed to be happy and gay
0:34But one little boy who sat by himself
0:40Was reading a letter he had
0:47You could plainly tell by the look on his face
0:54That the contents of it made him sad
1:02The stern old conductor then started his round
1:08Taking tickets from everyone there
1:15And finally reaching the side of the boy
1:22He gruffly demanded his fare
1:29I have no ticket the boy then replied
1:36But I'll pay you back someday
1:43Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make
1:50But he stopped when he heard the boy say
1:57Please Mr Conductor
2:04Don't put me off of this train
2:11The best friend I have in this world sir
2:18Is waiting for me in pain
2:25Expecting to die any moment sir
2:32And may not live through the day
2:39I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
2:46Before God takes her away
2:53A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim
3:00If you put him off it's a shame
3:08Taking his hand a collection she made
3:14The boy's way was paid on the train
3:21I'm obliged to you miss for
3:25Your kindness to me
3:28You're welcome she said never fear
3:35Each time the conductor
3:38Would pass through the car
3:42The boy's words would ring in his ear
3:49Please Mr Conductor
3:56Don't put me off of this train
4:03The best friend I have in this world sir
4:10Is waiting for me in pain
4:17Expecting to die any moment sir
4:24And may not live through the day
4:31I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
4:38Before God takes her away
Lighting Express - The Everly Brothers (艾佛利兄弟)

And finally reaching the side of the boy
He gruffly demanded his fare
I have no ticket the boy then replied
But I'll pay you back someday
Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make
But he stopped when he heard the boy say
Please Mr  Conductor
Don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have in this world sir
Is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment sir
And may not live through the day
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away
A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim
If you put him off  it's a shame
Taking his hand  a collection she made
The boy's way was paid on the train
I'm obliged to you miss for
Your kindness to me
You're welcome  she said  never fear
Each time the conductor

The best friend I have in this world sir
Is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment sir
And may not live through the day
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away
