letra de he's coming to us dead - norman blake
[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’
[verse 6]
‘he’s coming home to mother’
the old man gently said
‘he’s coming home in a casket, sir
he’s coming to us dead’
[verse 7]
just then a whistle pierced their ears
the express came on time
the old man rose in a breathless haste
and quickly rushed outside
[verse 8]
and then a long white casket
was lowered to the ground
showing signs of grief and tears
to those who gathered around
[verse 9]
‘do not use him roughly, boys
it contains our darling jack
he went away as you boys are
see how he’s coming back?’
[verse 10]
‘he broke his poor old mother’s heart
her sayings all came true
she said, this is the way that he’d come back
when he joined the boys in blue’
