kinky friedman – western union wire lyrics
(kinky friedman)
from a cheap hotel in dallas
on a cold december day
a telegram was traveling on it’s 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 ¡º ¡°please help me¡± ¡º stop.
western union wire ¡º ¡°don’t leave me.¡± ¡º 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 ¡º ¡°please help me¡± ¡º stop.
western union wire ¡º ¡°don’t leave me.¡± ¡º 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 ¡º ¡°don’t leave me.¡± ¡º stop.
¡°ah, you said you’d always love me ¡º how could you? ¡± ¡º stop,
¡°in pieces on the runway ¡º i love you.¡± ¡º stop.
