"Lightning Express"


C
The lightning express from the depot so grand
    F                  C
Had started out on its way

All of the passengers that were on board
 D7                    G7
Seemed to be happy and gay

C
But one little boy who sat by himself
    F                   C
Was reading a letter he had
          F                   C
You could plainly tell by the look on his face
         D7          G7          C
That the contents of it made him sad

C
The stern old conductor then started his round
       F                     C
Taking tickets from everyone there

And finally reaching the sad little boy
   D7                   G7
He gruffly demanded his fare

C
I have no ticket the boy then replied
    F                 C
But I'll pay you back someday
          F                  C
Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make
       D7              G7            C
But he stopped when he heard the boy say

C
Please Mr. Conductor
      F                  C
Don't put me off of this train

The best friend I have in this world sir
D7                   G7
Is waiting for me in pain

C
Expecting to die any moment sir
    F                        C
And may not live through the day
  F                         C
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
  D7       G7        C
Before God takes her away

C
A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim
       F                  C
If you put him off it's a shame

Taking his hand a collection she made
    D7                        G7
The boy's way was paid on the train

C
I'm obliged to you miss for your kindness to me
       F                      C
You're welcome she said never fear
     F                        C
Each time the conductor would pass through the car
    D7                G7          C
The boy's words would ring in his ear

C
Please Mr. Conductor
      F                  C
Don't put me off of this train

The best friend I have in this world sir
D7                   G7
Is waiting for me in pain

C
Expecting to die any moment sir
    F                        C
And may not live through the day
  F                         C
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
  D7       G7        C
Before God takes her away
