<i>[I. Her Man's Been Gone]</i><br>
<br>
Her man's been gone<br>
For nigh a year<br>
He was due home yesterday<br>
But he ain't here<br>
<br>
Her man's been gone<br>
For nigh on a year<br>
He was due home yesterday<br>
But he ain't here<br>

<i>[II. Crying Town]</i><br>
<br>
Down your street your crying is a well-known sound<br>
Your street is very well known, throughout your town<br>
Your town is very famous for the little girl<br>
Whose cries can be heard all around the world<br>

We have a remedy<br>
You'll appreciate<br>
No need to be so sad<br>
He's only late<br>
<br>
We'll bring you flowers and things<br>
Help pass your time<br>
We'll give him eagle's wings<br>
Then he can fly to you<br>

Little girl guide, why don't you stop your crying?<br>
Here comes Ivor the engine driver to make you feel much better<br>
<br>
<i>[IV. Ivor The Engine Driver]</i><br>
<br>
My name is Ivor<br>
I'm an engine driver<br>
<br>
I know him well<br>
I know why you feel blue<br>
Just 'cause he's late<br>
Don't mean he'll never get through<br>
<br>
He told me he loves you<br>
He ain't no liar, I ain't either<br>
So let's have a smile for an old engine driver<br>
So let's have a smile for an old engine driver<br>
<br>
Please take a sweet<br>
Come take a walk with me<br>
We'll sort it out<br>
Back at my place, maybe<br>
<br>
It'll come right<br>
You ain't no fool, I ain't either<br>
So why not be nice to an old engine driver?<br>
Better be nice to an old engine driver<br>
Better be nice to an old engine driver<br>
<br>
<i>[V. Soon Be Home]</i><br>
<br>
We'll soon be home<br>
We'll soon be home<br>
We'll soon<br>
We'll soon, soon, soon be home<br>
<br>
We'll soon be home<br>
We'll soon be home<br>
We'll soon<br>
We'll soon, soon, soon be home<br>
<br>
Come on, old horse<br>
<br>
Soon be home<br>
Soon be home<br>
Soon<br>
We'll soon, soon, soon be home<br>
<br>
We'll soon<br>
We'll soon, soon, soon be home<br>
<br>
We'll soon be home<br>
Soon be home ...<br>
<br>
<i>[VI. You Are Forgiven]</i><br>
<br>
Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang<br>
<br>
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello<br>
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello<br>
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello<br>
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello<br>
<br>
I can't believe it<br>
Do my eyes deceive me?<br>
Am I back in your arms?<br>
Away from all harm?<br>
<br>
It's like a dream to be with you again<br>
Can't believe that I'm with you again<br>
<br>
I missed you and I must admit<br>
I kissed a few and once did sit<br>
On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap<br>
And later with him, had a nap<br>
<br>
You are forgiven, you are forgiven, you are forgiven ... <i>[ad lib]</i><br>
<br>
You are forgiven<br>
<BR><BR>
