Cosher Bailey's Engine
Cosher Bailey had an engine
It was always wanting mending,
And according to the power,
She could do four miles an hour
Chorus:
|: Did you ever saw, :|
Did you ever saw
Such a funny sight before?
2. On the night run up from Gower
She did twenty mile an hour
As she whistled through the station
Man, she frightened half the nation.
Chorus:
3. Cosher bought her second-hand
And he painted her so grand
When the driver went to oil her
Man, she nearly burst her boiler.
Chorus:
4. Cosher Bailey's sister Lena
She was living up in Blaina
She could knit and darn our stockings
But her cooking it was shocking.
Chorus:
5. Cosher Bailey's brother Rupert
He played stand-off-half for Newport,
When they played against Llanelly
Someone kicked him in the belly.
Chorus:
6. Cosher Bailey had a daughter
Who did things she didn't oughter
She was quite beyond the pale
But over that we'll draw a veil.
Chorus:
7. Cosher Bailey went to Exford
For to pass matriculation
But he saw a pretty barmaid
And he never left the station.
Chorus:
8. Oh the sight it was heart-rending
Cosher drove his little engine
And he got stuck in the tunnel
And went up the bloomin' funnel.
Chorus:
9. Cosher Bailey's little engine
Couldn't even sound its hooter
Just to make the steam go higher
He made water on the fire.
Chorus:
10. Yes, Cosher Bailey he did die
And they put him in a coffin
But, alas, they heard a knocking
Cosher Bailey, only joking.
Chorus:
11. Well, the Devil wouldn't have him
But he gave him sticks and matches
For to set up on his own
On the top of Barford Hatches.
Chorus:
