Subject: Lyr Req: 'The day we ran away' From: Gareth Date: 16 Oct 02 - 10:48 AM Dredged up from distant memories - a railway ( Anorak ) song heard 1970s possibly at Faversham Folk Club, or The Duke of Cimberland Whitstable about a run away train. Chorus went/goes :- " The day, the day, the day we ran away, They'll pension of the pair of us on the day we ran away." Any 'Catters got this one marked down in the back of their Ian Allen notebooks ? Gareth |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE DAY WE RAN AWAY (Dave Goulder) From: Shuffer Date: 20 Feb 03 - 09:53 AM THE DAY WE RAN AWAY (Dave Goulder) Well, good evening, everybody. I can see you've nowt to do, So give me your attention and a tale I tell to you. You'll never hear the like again till the cows come out to play. I'll tell you all the story of the day we ran away.
CHORUS
Well, I signed my card at nine o'clock and I went to find me mate.
Well, we tidied up the engine and we started down the yard.
We sorted out the wagons and we got her out on time.
Well, the coal fell off me shovel in a heap upon the floor.
So I wrestled with the tender brake with all my strength and skill.
And when we came to the junction, I was ready for the shock.
And when we came to *********, we was jogging along so slow, Sorry can't remember the name of the Station but I don't suppose it matters which station you use in the last verse. It was indeed written by Dave Goulder and can be found on his album Requiem for Steam Geoff |
