Western Union Wire Lyrics - Sold American-30th Anniversary - Kinky Friedman

(kinky friedman) 

From a cheap hotel in dallas 

On a cold december day 

A telegram was traveling on it's 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 don't leave me. stop.

Well, the taxicab it took her 

To the airport in the dawn, 

She knew in just an hour she'd 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 don't 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 couldn't stop.
