the heathen and the holy – the christmas train (remastered 2023) lyrics

[verse 1: tom hobden]
over the hill and around the bend
an old steam train painted gold and red
she rides these tracks only once a year
can you hear her in the distance?
the gleaming lights, the polished brass
the bottles clink in the buffet car
her whistle blows through the valley wide
you can hear it if you listen

[bridge: tom hobden]
through sleet or snow, through wind or hail
through rain or shine, she’ll never fail, she’s
bang on time

[chorus: tom hobden, fred abbott]
all aboard the christmas train
destination: christmas day
bring your joy and laughter here
this engine runs on christmas cheer

[skit: fred abbott]
next stop: king’s cross station

[verse 2: fred abbott]
there’s a nerdy boy with a curious scar
a belgian man with a waxed moustache
a guy called buddy dressed as an elf
the patrons are diverse
a chap called rudolph with a shiny nose
a talking bear in a duffel coat
a jolly fellow in a red and white suit
says he’s on his way to work
[bridge: tom hobden & fred abbott]
if there’s no strike today, or wrong kind of snow
leaves on the line, doesn’t he know that she’s
bang on time!

[chorus: tom hobden & fred abbott]
all aboard the christmas train
destination: christmas day
bring your joy and laughter here
this engine runs on christmas cheer

[interlude: tom hobden]
we’re leaving the city behind
the fields and the trees pass us by
there’s no track below us, nothing can stop us now
we’re heading up into the sky

[skit: fred abbott]
all aboard!
next stop: paris
mais oui
bof
next stop: madrid
ole
next stop: bethlehem
[verse: tom hobden]
a mum and dad with a baby child
they struggle on, they look so tired
at least they’ll find some comfort here
heaven knows what they’ve been through
a frail old lady in a colourful hat
a corgi sitting on her lap
she’s off to see her husband now
it’s been a year or two

[bridge: tom hobden & fred abbott]
even when your race is run
and darkness blocks the winter’s sun
through sleet or snow, through wind or hail
through rain or shine, she will prevail, she’s
bang on time
bang on time

[chorus: tom hobden & fred abbott]
all aboard the christmas train
destination: christmas day
bring your joy and laughter here
this engine runs on christmas cheer
all aboard the christmas train
destination: christmas day
if you’re low on fuel then have no fear
this engine runs on christmas cheer
this engine runs on christ+mas cheer
