Many a mile down the old rail track
Nothing much of nothing to do
I'm rolling quickly with a clickety clack
I'm 24 stations from you
How grand these stations must have seemed
With trains coming out of the blue
In the golden age of steam
When all was mechanically new
When out of the pines came the river
Out of the pines, the lane
Out of the pines, the wind and song
Out of the pines, the train
Parallel lines run me back
The whole of the country meets at Crewe
Yes, I'm all aboard with the pack
But I'm 24 stations from you
You and who?
Out of the pines came the river
Out of the pines, the lane
Out of the pines, the wind and song
Out of the pines, the train
Many a mile down the old rail track
Nothing much of nothing to do
Rolling quickly with a clickety clack
24 stations from you
You and who?
You and who?
Rolling quickly with a clickety clack
24 stations from you
You and who?
You and who?
Out of the pines came the river
You and who?
Out of the pines came the lane
You and who?
Out of the pines, the wind and song
You and who? ...
