[Verse 1]
One morning when the office had opened
A man quite old in years
Stood beside the express office
Showing signs of grief and tears
[Verse 2]
When the clerk approached him
His trembling words did say
'I'm waiting for my boy, sir
He's coming home today'
[Verse 3]
'Well you have made a sad mistake
And you must surely know
That this is the telegraph office, sir
And not a town depot'
[Verse 4]
'If your boy is coming home'
The clerk with a smile smile did say
'You'll find him with the passengers, sir
At the station just all thе way'
[Verse 5]
'You do not understand me, sir'
The old man shook his hеad
'He's not a-coming as a passenger
But by express instead'
