Roger Whittaker - The Good Old EAR&H lyrics

rate me

Oh the good old EAR&H would get me there on time

Those mighty engines rolling down the line

And no boy ever had a railway quite as fine as mine

Oh, The good old EAR&H

The good old EAR&H

Now when I was a kid I used to play

While the train would rock and roll and swing and sway

And as she pulled us up the grade, slowing all the way

Oh this is what the wheels would have to say

We would sing along with what they had to say

They’d say no I can’t, no I can’t, no I can’t, no I can’t, no I can’t, no I

can’t again

And they’d say no I can’t, no I can’t, no I can’t, that train, oh that

train

Oh the good old EAR&H would get me there on time

Those mighty engines rolling down the line

And no boy ever had a railway quite as fine as mine

Oh, The good old EAR&H

The good old EAR&H

Now when I was a kid I’d ride the train

That took me up to school and home again

At the end of school aboard that train unholy joy would reign

At the downward grade the wheels would keep on saying

At the downward grade the wheels would keep on saying

And they’d say Yes I can, yes I can, yes I can, yes I can, can, can, can,

can, can, can, can, can, can,

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes I can,

And they’d say yes I can, yes I can, yes I can, can, can, can, can, can,

can, yes I can, Oh yes I can

Oh the good old EAR&H would get me there on time

Those mighty engines rolling down the line

And no boy ever had a railway quite as fine as mine

Oh, The good old EAR&H

The good old EAR&H

Now somehow it just don’t seem the same

They’re using diesel fuel to pull that train

The old wood burners sitting down in a museum

You don’t ride ‘em you just go there and see ‘em

Oh it’s sad to see them stand in a museum

The good old EAR&H would get me there on time

Those mighty engines rolling down the line

And no boy ever had a railway quite as fine as mine

Oh, The good old EAR&H

The good old EAR&H
