[00:-2.00]
[00:00.00]
[00:00.30] Her man's been gone
[00:03.89] For nearly a year
[00:06.66] He was due home yesterday
[00:09.72] But he ain't here
[00:12.43]
[00:12.99] Her man's been gone
[00:16.08] For nigh on a year
[00:19.21] He was due home yesterday
[00:22.40] But he ain't here
[00:25.06]
[00:25.67] (II. Crying Town)
[00:29.25]
[00:33.06] Down your street your crying is a well-known sound
[00:40.18] Your street is very well known, right here in town
[00:47.44] Your town is very famous for the little girl
[00:54.79] Whose cries can be heard all around the world
[01:00.38]
[01:17.67] (III. We Have A Remedy)
[01:20.06]
[01:38.03] We have a remedy
[01:39.62] You'll appreciate
[01:41.54] No need to be so sad
[01:43.38] He's only late
[01:45.19]
[01:45.38] We'll bring you flowers and things
[01:47.23] Help pass your time
[01:49.14] We'll give him eagle's wings
[01:50.91] Then he can fly to you
[01:54.96]
[01:57.17] Fa la la la la la
[01:58.63] Fa la la la la
[02:00.52] Fa la la la la la
[02:02.41] Fa la la la la
[02:04.32] Fa la la la la la
[02:06.13] Fa la la la la la
[02:08.45]
[02:19.85] We have a remedy
[02:21.38] Fa la la la la la la
[02:23.12] We have a remedy
[02:24.93] Fa la la la la la la
[02:26.96] We have a remedy
[02:28.73] Fa la la la la la la
[02:30.71]
[02:30.97] (spoken)
[02:31.77] We have a remedy.
[02:33.83] We have!
[02:34.97]
[02:35.35] Little girl, why don't you stop your crying?
[02:38.87] I'm gonna make you feel all right
[02:45.33]
[02:45.85] (IV. Ivor The Engine Driver)
[02:50.34]
[02:55.07] My name is Ivor
[02:57.35] I'm an engine driver
[03:00.43]
[03:02.99] I know him well
[03:05.68] I know why you feel blue
[03:08.47] Just 'cause he's late
[03:11.12] Don't mean he'll never get through
[03:13.70]
[03:15.00] He told me he loves you
[03:17.27] He ain't no liar, I ain't either
[03:20.02] So let's have a smile for an old engine driver
[03:29.95] So let's have a smile for an old engine driver
[03:39.62]
[03:42.48] (V. Soon Be Home)

[05:17.14] Away from all harm?
[05:19.96]
[05:28.99][05:21.39] It's like a dream to be with you again
[05:35.03]
[05:42.26] I missed you and I must admit
[05:47.34] I kissed a few and once did sit
[05:51.07] On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap
[05:54.79] And later with him, had a nap
[05:60.00]
[06:12.85] You are forgiven, you are forgiven, you are forgiven ... (ad lib)
[07:31.91]
[07:32.37] You are forgiven
