Her man's been gone For nearly a year He was due home yesterday But he ain't here
Her man's been gone For nigh on a year He was due home yesterday But he ain't here
(II. Crying Town)
Down your street your crying is a well-known sound Your street is very well known, right here in town Your town is very famous for the little girl Whose cries can be heard all around the world
(III. We Have A Remedy)
We have a remedy You'll appreciate No need to be so sad He's only late
We'll bring you flowers and things Help pass your time We'll give him eagle's wings Then he can fly to you
Fa la la la la la Fa la la la la Fa la la la la la Fa la la la la Fa la la la la la Fa la la la la la
We have a remedy Fa la la la la la la We have a remedy Fa la la la la la la We have a remedy Fa la la la la la la
(spoken) We have a remedy. We have!
Little girl, why don't you stop your crying? I'm gonna make you feel all right
(IV. Ivor The Engine Driver)
My name is Ivor I'm an engine driver
I know him well I know why you feel blue Just 'cause he's late Don't mean he'll never get through
He told me he loves you He ain't no liar, I ain't either So let's have a smile for an old engine driver So let's have a smile for an old engine driver
(V. Soon Be Home)
We'll soon be home We'll soon be home We'll soon We'll soon, soon, soon be home
We'll soon be home We'll soon be home We'll soon We'll soon, soon, soon be home
I can't believe it Do my eyes deceive me? Am I back in your arms? Away from all harm?
It's like a dream to be with you again
I missed you and I must admit I kissed a few and once did sit On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap And later with him, had a nap
You are forgiven, you are forgiven, you are forgiven ... (ad lib)
