give me a ticket to heaven - benjamin luxon lyrics

Loading...

into a railway station crept a little child one night
the last train was just leaving and the bustle at its height
the stationmaster standing there looked down with wond’ring eyes
upon this little maid so frail in form, so small in size
where is your father little one? are you alone, he cried
with tearful eyes she looked up in his face and thus replied

chorus
give me a ticket to heaven
that’s where dad’s gone they say
he’ll be so lonely without me, traveling all that way
mother died when i was born sir and left dad and me all alone
so give me a ticket to heaven please before the last train is gone

my daddy worked upon the line when i went home tonight
to take his tea, he lay there on a shutter, oh so white
into a great big building his mates carried him away
he’s booked for heaven poor old d*ck, i heard one of them say
a station this must be i thought to find the train i’d wait
but finding none i ran on here, i hope i’m not too late

chorus

the stationmaster said come little one, i’ll see you right
a ticket to your father you shall have this very night
he took her to the hospital. they let her see her dad
though injured he had not been k!lled and oh her heart was glad
then turning to that kind friend who had brought her all the way
she said if i lose dad again, i’ll come to you and say
chorus
