<i>[originally performed by The Who]</i><br>

<br>

<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>

<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>

<br>

<i>[III. We Have A Remedy]</i><br>

<br>

Fa la la la la la<br>

Fa la la la la<br>

Fa la la la la la<br>

Fa la la la la<br>

<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>

<br>

Fa la la la la la<br>

Fa la la la la<br>

Fa la la la la la<br>

Fa la la la la<br>

Fa la la la la la<br>

Fa la la la la la<br>

<br>

We have a remedy<br>

Fa la la la la la la<br>

We have a remedy<br>

Fa la la la la la la<br>

We have a remedy<br>

Fa la la la la la la<br>

We have a remedy<br>

Fa la la la la la la<br>

<br>

<i>[spoken]</i><br>

We have a remedy.<br>

We have!<br>

<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>

<i>[Thanks to Kaiser for these lyrics]</i><br>
