I've got a telegraph in my hand
words on paper written in sand.
We've got telegraph right acrosss this land.
It doesn't mean a damn thing

We don't understand


But who needs telegraph -
Anyway?
I've got a telegraph in my hand

Words on paper written in sand.
We've got telegraph
Right across this land.
It doesn't mean a damn thing

We don't understand.

God's got a telegraph on his side. -
It makes him powerful
gives him pride. -
Even in America they understand -
The value of the telegraph hand in hand.
