I. Her Man's Been Gone
 ----------------------
 Her man's been gone
 For nearly a year
 He was due home yesterday
 But he ain't here

 Her man's been gone
 For nigh on a year
 He was due home yesterday
 But he ain't here


 II. Crying Town
 ---------------
 Down your street your crying is a well-known sound
 Your street is very well known, right here in town
 Your town is very famous for the little girl
 Whose cries can be heard all around the world


 III. We Have A Remedy
 ---------------------
 Fa la la la la la
 Fa la la la la
 Fa la la la la la
 Fa la la la la

 We have a remedy
 You'll appreciate
 No need to be so sad
 He's only late

 We'll bring you flowers and things
 Help pass your time
 We'll give him eagle's wings
 Then he can fly to you

 Fa la la la la la
 Fa la la la la
 Fa la la la la la
 Fa la la la la
 Fa la la la la la
 Fa la la la la la

 We have a remedy
 Fa la la la la la la
 We have a remedy
 Fa la la la la la la
 We have a remedy
 Fa la la la la la la
 We have a remedy
 Fa la la la la la la

 (spoken)
 We have a remedy.
 We have!

 Little girl, why don't you stop your crying?
 I'm gonna make you feel all right


 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
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
 Soon be home
 Soon
 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
