little girl guide, why don’t you stop your crying?
here comes ivor the engine driver to make you feel much better
[iv. ivor the engine driver]
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
[v. soon be home]
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

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 …
[vi. you are forgiven]
dang, 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 … [ad lib]
you are forgiven
