The Eastbound Train was crowded

That cold December day

The conductor shouted tickets

In his old time fashioned way

The little girl sat in silence

Her hair as fine as gold

She said I have no ticket

D G

And then her story told

G D G

My father he’s in prison

C G

He’s lost his sight they say

I’m going for his pardon

D G

This cold December day

While I am on this car
