What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The lightning express from the depot so grand
2
Had started out on its way
3
All of the passengers that gathered on board
4
Seemed to be happy and gay
5
But one little boy who sat by himself
6
Was reading a letter he had
7
You could plainly tell by the look on his face
8
That the contents of it made him sad
9
The stern old conductor then started his round
10
Collecting tickets from everyone there
11
And finally reaching the side of the boy
12
He gruffly demanded his fare
13
"I have no ticket" the boy then replied
14
"But I'll pay you back someday"
15
"Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make"
16
But he stopped when he heard the boy say
17
Please Mr. Conductor
18
Don't put me off of this train
19
The best friend I have in this world sir
20
Is waiting for me in pain
21
Expecting to die any moment sir
22
And may not live through the day
23
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
24
Before God takes her away
25
A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim
26
If you put him off, it's a shame"
27
Taking his hand, a collection she made
28
The boy's way was paid on the train
29
I'm obliged to you miss for your kindness to me
30
You're welcome," she said, never fear
31
Each time the conductor would pass through the car
32
The boy's words would ring in his ear
