The east bound train was crowded,
one cold December day.

The conductor shouted tickets, in
his old kind fashioned way.

A little girl in sadness, her hair
was bright as gold.

She said I have no ticket, and then
her story told.

My mother's daily sewing, to try to
earn our bread.

My poor dear old kind father, in
prision, almost dead.

The conductor could not answer, he
could not make reply.

While taking his robe and wiping, a
tear drops from his eye.

He said, God bless you little child!
Just stay right where you are! You'll
never need a ticket, while I am on this
car!
