Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Her man's been gone
For nigh on a year
He was due home yesterday
But he ain't here
[Verse 2]
Her man's been gone
For nigh on a year
He was due home yesterday
But he ain't here
[Verse 3]
Down your street your cryin' is a well-known sound
Your street is very well known, through out your town
Your town is very famous for the little girl
Whose crying can be heard all around the world
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
We have a remedy
Little girl, God
Why don't you stop your crying?
Here comes Ivor the dirty, old, sooty engine driver
To make you feel alright
[Verse 7]
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
Let's have a smile for an old engine driver
[Verse 8]
Soon be home
Soon be home
We'll soon
We'll soon, soon, soon be home
Soon be home
Soon be home, oh, yeah
We'll soon
We'll soon, soon, soon be home
Soon be home
Soon be home
[Verse 9]
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
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
[Verse 10]
I can't believe it
Do my eyes deceive me?
Am I back in your arms?
Away from all harm?
[Verse 11]
It's like a dream to be with you again
Can't believe that I'm with you again
[Verse 12]
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
[Verse 13]
You are forgiven (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven (Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven)
(Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven)
Forgiven (Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgive, forgiven)
Oh, you're forgiven, come on, baby
Know that you not
Oh, you're forgiven
Know that she's made me cry
[Verse 14]
Baby (You are forgiven)
You know you're forgiven
You, baby, forgiven
Know you're forgiven (Forgiven)
Know you're forgiven
You're all forgiven
