Chorus: 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. But who needs telegraph anyway? Repeat Chorus We've got telegraph, right across this land. It doesn't mean a damn thing. We don't understand, we never understand! God's got a telegraph nn his side. It makes Him powerful, gives Him pride. Even in America, God bless America! They understand the value of the telegraph.
