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
