On the Worth Valley Line

ON THE WORTH VALLEY LINE

Hurry up, please hurry up!

It's twenty five to nine
And a handsome train awaits us

On the Worth Valley Line.

The whistle's blown, the flag is waved

And everyone is ready.
We’re pulling out of Keighley

And are going nice and steady.

The train chugs off along the line

Past houses row by row.
You can study people's gardens

And discover what they grow.

The whistle blows, darkness comes –

And we're going through a tunnel.

The smoke that's blowing in on us

Is coming from the funnel.

All too soon we're out again

And into bright sunlight.
There are people on the bridge ahead

Who’re waving with delight.

We’re halfway there - here’s Oakworth

With its lovely flower bed.
The whistle blows, the flag is waved

And we’re steaming on ahead.

Here’s Haworth now where we get off –

A very 'Yorkshire' town.
We'll see the sights, have a meal

And then we'll wander round.

At three o'clock we must be back,

So don't forget the time
For a handsome train awaits us

On the Worth Valley Line.
