For nearly a year

He was due home yesterday
|
But he ain't here

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
|

Fa la la la la la

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
|

Little girl, why don't you stop your crying?
|
I'm gonna make you feel all right
|
|
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
|
|
Please take a sweet
|
Come take a walk with me
|
We'll sort it out
|
Back at my place, maybe
|
|
It'll come right
|
You ain't no fool, I ain't either
|
So why not be nice to an old engine driver?
|
Better be nice to an old engine driver
|
Better be nice to an old engine driver
|
|
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
|
|
Come on, old horse
|
|
Soon be home
|
Soon be home
|
Soon
|
We'll soon, soon, soon be home
|
|
We'll soon
|
We'll soon, soon, soon be home
|
|
We'll soon be home
|
Soon be home ...

|
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
|
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
|
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
|
|
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
|
Can't believe that I'm 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)
|
|
You are forgiven
