CAPO 5
Miller's Dale for Tideswell ...
Kirby Muxloe ...
Mow Cop and Scholar Green ...
CNo more will I go to AmBlandford Forum and MDm7ortehoe G
COn the slow train froAmm Midsomer Norton andDm7 Mumby RoGad.
No Emchurns, no porter, no Amcat on a seat
At Dm7Chorlton-cum-Hardy or BmChesEter-le-Street.
We Amwon't be meeting aDm7gain
On the Slow GTrain.
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 to Dunstable Town.
I won't be going again
On the Slow Train.
On the EmMain Line and the Goods Dm7Siding
The grass grows Ghigh
At Dog EmDyke, Tumby WoodDm7side
And Trouble House GHalt.
The Sleepers sleep at Audlem and Ambergate.
No passenger waits on Chittening platform or Cheslyn Hay.
No one departs, no one arrives
From Selby to Goole, from St Erth to St Ives.
They've all passed out of our lives
On the Slow Train, on the Slow Train.
Cockermouth for Buttermere ... on the Slow Train,
Armley Moor Arram ...
Pye Hill and Somercotes ... on the Slow Train,
Windmill End.
