flatt and scruggs - east bound train lyrics
the east bound train was crowded one cold december day
the conductor shouted, “tickets” in his old- time fashioned way
a little girl, in sadness , her hair as bright as gold
she said< " i have no ticket" and then her story told
"my father he's in prison he's lost his sight they say
i'm going to beg his pardon this cold december day
[ ac.guitar ]
my mother's daily sewing to try to earn our bread
my poor dear old blind father in prison almost dead
my brother and my sister would both be mighty glad,
if i could only bring back my poor, dear , old blind dad"
the conductor could not answer he could not make a reply
while looking at this little one he brushed a teardrop from his eye
"do not fear my little one just stay right where you are
you'll never need a ticket while i am on this car"
