Intro:
C G A D7 G D7
G
The lightning express from the depot so grand
C G
Had started out on its way
All of the passengers that were on board
A D7
Seemed to be happy and gay
G
But one little boy who sat by himself
C G
Was reading a letter he had
C G
You could plainly tell by the look on his face
A D7 G
That the contents of it made him sad
G
The stern old conductor then started his round
C G
Taking tickets from everyone there
And finally reaching the side of the boy
A D7
He gruffly demanded his fare
G
"I have no ticket" the boy then replied
C G
"But I'll pay you back someday"
C G
"Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make"
A D7 G
But he stopped when he heard the boy say
G
"Please Mr. Conductor
C G
Don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have in this world sir
A D7
Is waiting for me in pain
G
Expecting to die any moment sir
C G
And may not live through the day
C G
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
A D7 G
Before God takes her away."
