LYRICS by CBBC's Horrible Histories song-writer, Dave Cohen with some script input from Historyworks, sung here by Bethany Kirby:
As I was riding from Cambridge by train
All along down along, out along lea
I saw all the people who worked to maintain
Two fitters one shunter, stone breaker, boiler maker
One railway examiner and all
Five drivers all stood by the wall
As I was travelling in my Cambridge carriage
All along down along, out along lea
I saw all the people who helped with my baggage
Four porters, three clerks and two guards and inspectors
A tubby controller and all
A signalman high in his stall
As I was walking through Romsey one day
Thoday and Sedgewick Streets, all I could see
Was dozens of houses where railwaymen stay
Two fitters one shunter, stone breaker, boiler maker
Four porters, three clerks and two guards and inspectors
One labourer, a strongman, coal porter, not song man
The railway examiner and all,
Too many of them to recall
