Things went wrong today,
bad news came my way
I woke up to find who I had on my mind
Western Union man, bad news in his hand
Knocking at my door,
selling me the score Fifteen cents a word to read,
a telegram I didn't need
Says she doesn't care no more,
think I'll throw it on the floor
Got to give up just today,
kill the blue I've got to say hey
Hey
Western Union
Now you're gonna win,
how it's sad to say you've gone
I remember what they said,
now I'm going out of my head
Telegram just had to say,
glad you listened all the way,
hey
Hey
Western Union I'll be on my way,
cause there's another girl
for me I'll be sure things will be as they were
Western Union,
oh Western Union Western Union,
oh Western Union
