[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
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
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
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
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
