Big Big Train

Let us begin where it all began

Fireside flickering flames

Make the shadows dance


Heigh-ho so we go we pass it on

We hand it down-o


We tell our tales, we sing our songs

While we have breath left in our lungs


Heigh-ho so we go we pass it on

We hand it down-o


We pass it on down

To the young from the old

We feel it deep down in the soul


Heigh-ho so we go we pass it on

We hand it down-o


Sometimes truth hides beside the lies

Grist to the mill, fuel to our fire


Heigh-ho so we go we pass it on

We hand it down-o


For it is said, so it lives on

We pass it down, it carries on



Oh down we go into folklore


The pen is mightier than the sword

The music of the word is scored


Heigh-ho so we go we pass it on

We hand it down-o


Our satellites they span the globe

Lo our stories shall be told


Heigh-ho so we go we pass it on

We hand it down-o


For it is said, so it lives on

We pass it down, it carries on


Oh down we go into folklore


I am a messenger: I speak

With integrity, truth, love and light


For it is said, so it lives on

And when we're gone, we carry on


Oh down we go into folklore
