The Clansman
This is a song about a train called the Clansman
Now the Clansman used to run from Inverness down into London town
A big old yellow and blue forty-seven diesel engine, kicking out black smoke, and twelve mismatched British rail carriages
All thundering through the highland glens
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Well the Clansman's headed through the pass
Today she's London bound
One day I'm going to ride that train, take it right the way down the line
One day I'm going to ride that train, take it right the way down the line
And I'll walk those gilded pavements
In that land of honey and of wine
There's leaden smoke across the sky, there's puddles on the ground
There's leaden smoke across the sky, there's puddles on the ground
The Clansman's headed through the pass
Today she's southward bound
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Well the Clansman's headed through the pass
Today she's London bound
Two-thousand good strong diesel horses please take me away
Two-thousand good strong diesel horses please take me away
The Clansman's headed through the pass
She's London Bound today
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Well the Clansman's headed through the pass
Today she's London bound
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Well the Clansman's headed through the pass
Today she's London bound
Now the Clansman used to run from Inverness down into London town
A big old yellow and blue forty-seven diesel engine, kicking out black smoke, and twelve mismatched British rail carriages
All thundering through the highland glens
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Well the Clansman's headed through the pass
Today she's London bound
One day I'm going to ride that train, take it right the way down the line
One day I'm going to ride that train, take it right the way down the line
And I'll walk those gilded pavements
In that land of honey and of wine
There's leaden smoke across the sky, there's puddles on the ground
There's leaden smoke across the sky, there's puddles on the ground
The Clansman's headed through the pass
Today she's southward bound
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Well the Clansman's headed through the pass
Today she's London bound
Two-thousand good strong diesel horses please take me away
Two-thousand good strong diesel horses please take me away
The Clansman's headed through the pass
She's London Bound today
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Well the Clansman's headed through the pass
Today she's London bound
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Well the Clansman's headed through the pass
Today she's London bound
