Slow Train

[Intro]
Millers Dale for Tideswell
Kirby Muxloe
Mow Cop and Scholar Green

[Verse 1]
No more will I go to Blandford Forum and Mortehoe
On the Slow Train from Midsomer Norton and Mumby Road
No churns, no porter, no cat on a seat
At Chorton-Cum-Harley or Chester-Le-Street
We won't be meeting again, on the Slow Train

[Verse 2]
I'll travel no more from Littleton Badsey to Openshaw
At Long Stanton, I'll stand well clear of the doors no more
No whitewashed pebbles, no up and no down
From Formby, Four Crosses or Dunstable Town
I won't be going again, on the Slow Train

[Bridge]
On the mainline and the goods siding
The grass grows high
At Dogdyke, Tumby Woodside and Trouble House Halt

[Verse 3]
The sleepers sleep, at Audlem and Ambergate
No passenger waits at Chittening Platform or Cheslyn Hay
No one departs, no one arrives
From Selby to Goole, from Saint Erth to Saint Ives
They've all passed out of our lives on the Slow Train

[Outro]
On the Slow Train
Cockermouth for Buttermere
On the Slow Train
Armley Moor, Arram, Pye Hill And Sommercotes
On the Slow Train
Windmill End
