Nigel Parsons songs about Trains in the UK (44) RE: songs about Trains in the UK 02 Jan 14


Lord Belborough's song (From childrens tv show "Chigley"):

Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train
And I ride on the footplate, there and back again.

Under bridges, over bridges, to our destination
Puffing through the countryside there's so much to be seen;
Passengers waving as we steam through a station,
Stoke up, fireman, for the signal is at green:

Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train
And I ride on the footplate, there and back again.

In the cutting, through the tunnel,
Rushing, clanking, on the track;
Wheezing pistons, smoking funnels,
Turning wheels go clickety-clack:

Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train
And I ride on the footplate, there and back again.
