The Oxford to Hampton Railway In Alcester lives a bonny lass / I think they call her Nancy, Says she, a trip upon the line / Greatly would really please my fancy. I will ride by steam and work by steam, / By steam I’ll on be hurried, And when I can a husband find / By steam I will be married It has become the opposite; She'll go by steam, she'll come by steam, / By steam she'll unbehurried, And if she do a husband find / By steam they will be married and then; She'll go by steam, she'll come by steam, by steam she'll be unhurried, And if she do a husband find, by steam she will be married
