Western Union Wire

歌詞

Kinky Friedman - Western Union Wire From a cheap hotel in Dallas On a cold December day A telegram was traveling on its way LiKe a sad old song from somewhere In the distance of a dream Flashing 'cross the darkness On the telegraph machine. It said, "From Billy," at the bottom, "To Baby," at the Top Western Union Wire - "Please help me" - stop. Western Union Wire - "Don't leave me." - stop. Well, the taxicab it took her To the airport in the dawn, She knew in just an hour she'd be gone. She was standing near the platform 'Bout to board the big Pan Am When someone came And put the lonely message in her hand. It said, "From Billy," at the bottom, "To Baby," at the Top Western Union Wire - "Please help me" - stop. Western Union Wire - "Don't leave me." - stop. Headin' high above Chicago Just a-reachin' for the skies She found herself with teardrops in her eyes. And a little boy beside her asked her, "Mama, where is Pop ?" And she just broke down a-cryin' 'Cause she knew she couldn't stop. It said, "From Billy," at the bottom, "To Baby," at the Top Western Union Wire - "Don't leave me." - stop. "Ah, you said you'd always love me - how could you ?" - stop, "In pieces on the runway - I love you." - stop.
