A Quick One While He's Away

"A Quick One While He's Away"
 Her man's been gone
 For nigh on year
 He was due home yesterday
 But he ain't here
 Her man's been gone
 For nigh on a year
 He was due home yesterday
 But he ain't here
 Down your street your crying is a well-known sound
 Your street is very well known, through out your town
 Your town is very famous for the little girl
 Whose crying can be heard all around the world
 oh
 We have a remedy
 You'll appreciate
 No need to feel so bad
 He's only late
 We'll bring you flowers and things
 Help pass your time
 We'll give him eagle's wings
 Then he can fly to you
 Fa la la la la la

 Little girl guide, why don't you stop your crying?
 here comes ivor the engine driver to make you feel much better
 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

 I can'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
 Can't believe that I'm 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 ...
 You are forgiven
