The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I'm late, darling, don't hesitate
Just go without me and I'll see you there anyway
If I miss you at the station
I want you on that train
I don't want a sad sack
'Cause I'll be there come what may
Leave a message with the porter
Or leave it at the gate
Just let me know that you're aboard her
Just a word to know that you're safe
I walk from Maryland to Silvertown
I hoped to catch you in the street
I must have missed you by a moment dear
I tried the place we alway meet
So if I'm late darling, don't hesitate, no no
Go on your ownsome and I'll catch you there anyway
I might lose sometime babe
But if I do I'll make amends in an hour
When I'm laying down beside you
