Lightning Express

The Lightning Express The Lightning Express from it's depot so grand Had way All of the passengers that were on board gay But one little boy who sat by himself Was had You could plainly tell by the look on his face That the sad The stern old conductor then started his rounds Taking tickets from everyone there Finally reaching the side of the boy He gruffly demanded his fare I have no ticket the boy then replied But I'll pay you back someday Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make But he stopped when he heard the boy say (chorus) train. The best friend I have in the world sir Is pain Expected to die any moment sir And day I want to reach home and kiss Mother goodbye Beaway A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim If you put him off it's a shame Then taking his hat a collection was made The boy's fare was paid on the train I'm obliged to you miss, the boy then replied You're welcome, she said, never fear Each time the conductor would pass through the car The boy's words would ring in his ear (repeat chorus)
