(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 ¡º ¡°please help me¡± ¡º stop. Western union wire ¡º ¡°don't leave me.¡± ¡º 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 ¡º ¡°please help me¡± ¡º stop. Western union wire ¡º ¡°don't leave me.¡± ¡º 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. It said, ¡°from billy,¡± at the bottom, ¡°to baby,¡± at the top Western union wire ¡º ¡°don't leave me.¡± ¡º stop. ¡°ah, you said you'd always love me ¡º how could you ? ¡± ¡º stop, ¡°in pieces on the runway ¡º I love you.¡± ¡º stop.
