45 Little girl guide, why don't you stop your crying?

46 Here comes Ivor the engine driver to make you feel much better

47 IV. Ivor The Engine Driver

48 My name is Ivor

49 I'm an engine driver

50 I know him well

51 I know why you feel blue

52 Just 'cause he's late

53 Don't mean he'll never get through

54 He told me he loves you

55 He ain't no liar, I ain't either

56 So let's have a smile for an old engine driver

57 So let's have a smile for an old engine driver

58 Please take a sweet

59 Come take a walk with me

60 We'll sort it out

61 Back at my place, maybe

62 It'll come right

63 You ain't no fool, I ain't either

64 So why not be nice to an old engine driver?

65 Better be nice to an old engine driver

66 Better be nice to an old engine driver

67 V. Soon Be Home

85 VI. You Are Forgiven

86 Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang

87 Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello

88 Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello

89 Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello

90 Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello

91 I can't believe it

92 Do my eyes deceive me?

93 Am I back in your arms?

94 Away from all harm?

95 It's like a dream to be with you again

96 Can't believe that I'm with you again

97 I missed you and I must admit

98 I kissed a few and once did sit

99 On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap

100 And later with him, had a nap

101 You are forgiven, you are forgiven, you are forgiven ... (ad lib)

102 You are forgiven
