^CNo more will I go to ^AmBlandford Forum and ^Dm7Mortehoe^G On the ^Cslow train from ^AmMidsomer Norton and ^Dm7Mumby Road.^G ^EmNo churns, no porter, no ^Amcat on a seat ^Dm7At Chorlton-cum-Hardy or ^BmajChester-le-^EStreet. ^AmWe won't be meeting aga^Dm7in On the ^GSlow Train.

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 ^AmGoods Siding The ^Ggrass grows high At ^EmDog Dyke, ^AmTumby Woodside And ^GTrouble House Halt.

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.

^CCockermouth for ^AmButtermere ... on the ^GSlow Train, ^CArmley Moor ^AmArram ... ^CPye Hill and ^AmSomercotes ... on the ^GSlow Train, ^CWindmill End.
