On The Wigan Boat Express - George Formby

[00:0.0]On the Wigan Boat Express - George Formby
[00:9.55]On the boat express I ride see us every day
[00:14.41]Flashing by the countryside
[00:16.71]Picking flowers on the way
[00:18.76]Once a wedding pair didnt seem to care
[00:21.05]They were full of love I guess
[00:23.29]And the honeymoon started far too soon
[00:25.65]On the Wigan Boat Express
[00:28.28]A chap one day with a girl got gay
[00:30.48]I saw them both caress
[00:32.92]She got what for in the corridor
[00:34.96]On the Wigan Boat Express
[00:37.54]When we shunt the backs in front
[00:39.8]And the front parts in the rear
[00:42.03]If we survive then well arrive alongside Wigan Pier
[00:46.64]Cried a lady "Oo bring a doctor do
[00:48.85]I think I'm in distress "
[00:51.31]She was feeling shocks in a signal box
[00:53.66]On the Wigan Boat Express
[01:55.25]On a steep incline one day
[01:59.13]The train was standing still
[01:62.68]I said we can't wait here all day
[01:67.32]So we pushed it up the hill
[01:70.62]If its wet or fine we start at nine
[01:74.42]Were prompt I must confess
[01:78.47]And by half-past one two miles
[01:81.33]We've done on the Wigan Boat Express
[01:86.2]Once a chap I saw on the engine floor
[01:90.23]Hed gone to sleep I guess
[01:93.98]But he woke to find a tender
[01:97.02]Behind on the Wigan Boat Express
[02:01.98]Now when we shunt the backs in front
[02:05.77]And the front parts in the rear
[02:09.78]If we survive then well arrive alongside Wigan Pier
[02:17.47]Mrs Brown looked swell
[02:19.72]But sad to tell on the door she tore her dress
[02:25.38]And the sun shone gay
[02:27.42]Through the permanent way on the Wigan Boat Express
[02:64.35]Now when we shunt the backs in front
[02:68.13]And the front parts in the rear
[02:72.12]If we survive then well arrive alongside Wigan Pier
[02:79.7]In the sleeping car they go too far
[02:83.82]All mixed up more or less
[02:87.4]But they rearrange when I shout
[02:90.4]"All change" on the Wigan Boat Express
