houghmagandie Lyr: Daddy's on the Engine/My Dad's the Engineer (14) Lyr Req: Daddy's on the Engine 23 Sep 05


In his autobiography "Cockburn Sums Up", Claud Cockburn mentions the first lines of a music hall song entitled "Daddy's on the Engine".
The lines Cockburn quotes are:
    Daddy's on the engine, don't be afraid,
    "Daddy knows what he's doing", said the little maid.
    "Daddy's on the engine, there's no need for fear,
    My daddy's on the engine, and my daddy's an engineer."
Does anyone have the rest of the words and/or the tune for this song?
