the golden days of steam - dave goulder lyrics
oh, did you hear the story of the company’s pursuit of glory?
they raced from london town to aberdeen
indeed, to win it, they pushed their engines to the limit
these were the olden days, the golden days of steam
indeed, to win it, they pushed their engines to the limit
these were the olden days, the golden days of steam
in old euston station, they reveled in the situation
they had to beat their time from crewe to carlisle
they would pursue it, they had the drivers who could do it
the western route would be the finest in the isles
they would pursue it, they had the drivers who could do it
the western route would be the finest in the isles
they took her to the limit and averaged a mile a minute on the journey from carlisle to perth
the drummond steaming, the fireman working like a demon
more for to pass the signals at kinnaber first
the drummond steaming, the fireman working like a demon
more for to pass the signals at kinnaber first
the eastern men did battle by breaking records to newcastle, the poor passengers more dead than alive
each driver’s order was “beat the other to the border”
it was the summertime of 1895
each driver’s order was “beat the other to the border”
it was the summertime of 1895
they passed through portobello, the timekeepers were turning yellow
the engine took the bends at 83
and at the station, they sat and fretted with frustration till they were o’er the bridge and making for dundee
and at the station, they sat and fretted with frustration till they were o’er the bridge and making for dundee
with all signals clear, past kinnaber with time to spare into aberdeen triumphant and sore
h*ll and d*mnation, the western train was in the station, she’d been there a quarter hour or more
h*ll and d*mnation, the western train was in the station, she’d been there a quarter hour or more
well, did hear you the story of the company’s pursuit of glory?
they raced from london down to aberdeen
indeed, to win it, they pushed their engines to the limit
these were the olden days, the golden days of steam
