A Quick One While He’s Away

A Quick One While He’s Away
[1. Her Man's Been Gone]
Her man's been gone
For night of a year
He was due home yesterday
But he ain't here
Her man's been gone
For night of a year
He was due home yesterday
But he ain't here

[2. Crying Town]
Down your street your
crying is a well-known sound
Your street is very
well known, throughout
your town
Your town is very famous
for a little girl
Whose cring can be heard
all around the world
[3. We Have A Remedy]
We have a remedy
you'll appreciate
don't need to be so sad
he's only late
We'll bring you flowers and things
Help pass your time
We'll give him eagle's wings
so he can fly to you
Fa la la la la la

Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
We have a remedy
Fa la la la la

We have a remedy.

Little girl stop your crying?
stop your cring
Ivor the engine driver is gonna
make you feel alright
[4. Ivor The Engine Driver]

My name is Ivor
I'm an engine driver
I know him well
I know why you feel blue
Just 'cause he's late
don't mean he'll never get through
He told me he loves you
He ain't no liar, I ain't either
So let's have a smile for
an old engine driver
So let's have a smile for
an old engine driver
[5. Soon Be Home]
We'll soon be home
We'll soon be home
We'll soon
We'll soon, soon, soon be home
We'll soon be home
We'll soon be home
We'll soon
We'll soon, soon, soon be home
We'll soon be home
We'll soon be home...
[6. You Are Forgiven]
Dang, dang, dang, dang,
dang, dang, dang, dang
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it,
do it, do it, do it, do it, do it,
do it, do it, do it, do it, do it,
do it, do it, do it, do it, do it,
do it, do it, do it, do it, do it,
do it, do it, do it, do it, do it,
do it

I don't believe it
Do my eyes deceive me?
Am I back in your arms?
Away from all harm?
It's like a dream to
be with you again
it's like a dream to
be with you again
I missed you and I must admit
I kissed a few and once did sit
On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap
And later with him, had a nap
You are forgiven, you
are forgiven, you are
forgiven (+20)
You are forgiven
You, you, you are forgiven
You, you, you are forgiven
You, you are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are all forgiven
