Western Union Wire — текст песни (Kinky Friedman)

(kinky friedman)



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 dont leave me. stop.



Well, the taxicab it took her

To the airport in the dawn,

She knew in just an hour shed 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 dont 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 couldnt stop.



It said, from billy, at the bottom, to baby, at the top

Western union wire dont leave me. stop.

ah, you said youd always love me how could you ? stop,

in pieces on the runway I love you. stop.
