On the slow train from Midsomer Norton and Mumby Road.
   Em                    Am
No churns, no porter, no cat on a seat
   Dm7                   E
At Chorlton-cum-Hardy or Chester-le-Street.
   Am
We won't be meeting again
            G
On the Slow Train.

I'll travel no more from Littleton Badsey to Openshaw.
At Long Stanton I'll stand well clear of the doors no more.
No whitewashed pebbles, no Up and no Down
From Formby Four Crosses to Dunstable Town.
I won't be going again
On the Slow Train.

       Em                      Am
On the Main Line and the Goods Siding
     Dm7        G
The grass grows high
       Em              Am
At Dog Dyke, Tumby Woodside
                  G
And Trouble House Halt.

The Sleepers sleep at Audlem and Ambergate.
No passenger waits on Chittening platform or Cheslyn Hay.
No one departs, no one arrives
From Selby to Goole, from St Erth to St Ives.
They've all passed out of our lives
On the Slow Train, on the Slow Train.
