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
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
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la la
Fa 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
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

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 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
Dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang
Cello cello cello cello cello cello
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
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
Forgiven
Forgiven forgiven forgiven forgiven forgiven forgiven forgiven
Forgiven forgiven forgiven forgiven forgiven
You are forgiven
