V1.
FThere's a girl leaving town for the Fsunshine
She's Fheading out to Happiness GBay
She's Fgoing first thing in the Fmorning
And Fhopes to be G7there by midFday
Her flavoursome buck is awFaiting
FLaden with fraudulent Gcharms
EnoFugh for to plunge a Fdoe such as she
Straight Finto his G7dastardly Farms
But the Gtragedy lies in the Fbackground
For a Gyoung man by Dmwhom she's adGored
Is Fplanning to throw himself Funder
The Ftrain she's intG7ending to Fboard.
V2.
Now the fates may look down and show mercy
And answer a poor mother's call
And the service soon after departing
May stop for no reason at all
And the young girl may come to her senses
And the wretch may get tetchy and leave
And the chap wracked with anguish incarnate
May gladly accept his reprieve
But the fates around these parts are ruthless
And sometimes just want people dead
So he'll probably throw himself under
The ten twenty seven instead.
V3.
Now the engine is leaving the station
The cow has been scraped from the line
And two letters by way of explanation
Have been written for those left behind
And should there develop high drama
Upon which an inquest is heard
You may like to curb your lamenting
Until you've all heard the last word
Well he thought of a love unrequited
And he thought of a life full of pain
It's a pity he didn't spare a thought for
The poor bastard driving the train.
