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

[00:00:03] Written by：Kincaid

[00:00:06] 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

[00:00:27] Seemed to be happy and gay

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

[00:00:41] Was reading a letter he had

[00:00:48] You could plainly tell by the look on his face

[00:00:55] 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

[00:01:16] 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

[00:01:58] 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

[00:02:26] Expecting to die any moment Sir

[00:02:33] And may not live through the day

[00:02:40] I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye

[00:02:47] Before God takes her away

[00:02:54] A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim

[00:03:01] If you put him off it's a shame

[00:03:09] Taking his hand a collection she made

[00:03:15] The boy's way was paid on the train

[00:03:22] I'm obliged to you miss for your kindness to me

[00:03:29] You're welcome she said never fear

[00:03:36] Each time the conductor would pass through the car

[00:03:43] The boy's words would ring in his ear

[00:03:51] Please Mr conductor

[00:03:57] Don't put me off of this train

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

[00:04:11] Is waiting for me in pain

[00:04:18] Expecting to die any moment Sir

[00:04:25] And may not live through the day

[00:04:32] I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye

[00:04:40] Before God takes her away
