《Lightning Express》歌词

[00:00:00] Lightning Express - The Everly Brothers (艾佛利兄弟)

[00:00:07] The lightning express from the depot so grand

[00:00:13] Had started out on it's way

[00:00:21] All of the passengers that were on board

[00:00:28] Seemed to be happy and gay

[00:00:34] But one little boy who sat by himself

[00:00:40] Was reading a letter he had

[00:00:47] You could plainly tell by the look on his face

[00:00:54] That the contents of it made him sad

[00:01:02] The stern old conductor then started his round

[00:01:08] Taking tickets from everyone there

[00:01:15] And finally reaching the side of the boy

[00:01:22] He gruffly demanded his fare

[00:01:29] I have no ticket the boy then replied

[00:01:36] But I'll pay you back someday

[00:01:43] Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make

[00:01:50] But he stopped when he heard the boy say

[00:01:57] Please Mr Conductor

[00:02:04] Don't put me off of this train

[00:02:11] The best friend I have in this world sir

[00:02:18] Is waiting for me in pain

[00:02:25] Expecting to die any moment sir

[00:02:32] And may not live through the day

[00:02:39] I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye

[00:02:46] Before God takes her away

[00:02:53] A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim

[00:03:00] If you put him off it's a shame

[00:03:08] Taking his hand a collection she made

[00:03:14] The boy's way was paid on the train

[00:03:21] I'm obliged to you miss for

[00:03:25] Your kindness to me

[00:03:28] You're welcome she said never fear

[00:03:35] Each time the conductor

[00:03:38] Would pass through the car

[00:03:42] The boy's words would ring in his ear

[00:03:49] Please Mr Conductor

[00:03:56] Don't put me off of this train

[00:04:03] The best friend I have in this world sir

[00:04:10] Is waiting for me in pain

[00:04:17] Expecting to die any moment sir

[00:04:24] And may not live through the day

[00:04:31] I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye

[00:04:38] Before God takes her away
