Lyrics: Well good evening everybody, I can see you've nowt to do Give me your attention and the tale I’ll tell to you You'll never hear the like again till the cows come out to play I want you all to hear about the day we run away O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away Well, I signed me card at nine o'clock and I went to find me mate His gear was on the tender and his billy was on the plate But if I'd known that it was Sydney, I'd have gone back home to stay And they could find another stoker for the day we run away O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away Well, we tidied up the engine and we took her down the yard I swear the wheels were threepenny bits, she rattled us so hard And every joint was blowing steam, I couldn't see for spray And Sydney got a shovelful when his arse got in the way O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away O, we sorted out the wagons and we got her out on time We got the green un from the guard and started down the line But we hadn't gone a mile or two when I heard the driver say, "I don't think she can hold them, lad. She's going to run away." O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away Well, a coal fell off me shovel in a heap upon the floor I told him what I thought of him as I raced it to the door But the speed that we were going, it took me breath away For sure as hell if I'd 'a' fell, I'd be shovelling there today O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away So I wrestled with the tender brake with all my strength and skill For the wheels, they stopped a-turning and we skated down the hill Sydney put her in reverse and I began to pray And the guard was having a baby on the day we ran away O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away And when we come to the junction, I was ready for the shock We hit the points, she danced about, I hardly dared to look But Sydney saw the signals, they were green uns all the way And as we hurtled through the station, well, I knew we'd won the day O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away And when we come to Dowton, we were jogging along so slow They shoved us into the sidings and the fire was nice and low We fried our bacon on the shovel, and the tea was on the way And we sat and blamed the guard for the day we run away O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away
Lyrics:
Well good evening everybody, I can see you've nowt to do
Give me your attention and the tale I’ll tell to you
You'll never hear the like again till the cows come out to play
I want you all to hear about the day we run away
O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day
They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away
Well, I signed me card at nine o'clock and I went to find me mate
His gear was on the tender and his billy was on the plate
But if I'd known that it was Sydney, I'd have gone back home to stay
And they could find another stoker for the day we run away
O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day
They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away
Well, we tidied up the engine and we took her down the yard
I swear the wheels were threepenny bits, she rattled us so hard
And every joint was blowing steam, I couldn't see for spray
And Sydney got a shovelful when his arse got in the way
O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day
They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away
O, we sorted out the wagons and we got her out on time
We got the green un from the guard and started down the line
But we hadn't gone a mile or two when I heard the driver say,
"I don't think she can hold them, lad. She's going to run away."
O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day
They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away
Well, a coal fell off me shovel in a heap upon the floor
I told him what I thought of him as I raced it to the door
But the speed that we were going, it took me breath away
For sure as hell if I'd 'a' fell, I'd be shovelling there today
O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day
They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away
So I wrestled with the tender brake with all my strength and skill
For the wheels, they stopped a-turning and we skated down the hill
Sydney put her in reverse and I began to pray
And the guard was having a baby on the day we ran away
O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day
They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away
And when we come to the junction, I was ready for the shock
We hit the points, she danced about, I hardly dared to look
But Sydney saw the signals, they were green uns all the way
And as we hurtled through the station, well, I knew we'd won the day
O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day
They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away
And when we come to Dowton, we were jogging along so slow
They shoved us into the sidings and the fire was nice and low
We fried our bacon on the shovel, and the tea was on the way
And we sat and blamed the guard for the day we run away
O the day, the day, they'll never forget the day
They'll pension off the pair of us on the day we run away
Thank you my good man
@@Monochrome_I You’re welcome.
Final verse, first line, its 'Toton' not 'Dowton'. 👍
The only thing i never liked about the song was the spring bouncing sound in the bg
That's a mouth organ. It's more of an older instrument than most people are used to in this day and age.
I like the mouth organ/harp.
It sounds cool.

It's based off of The day they ran away.
