Mastertune - Work Upon the Railway Lyrics

A hundred years is a very long time,
A hundred years is a very long time.
They used to think that pics could fly,
I don't believe it, no, not I.
They thought the moon was made of cheese,
You can believe it, if you please.
They thought the stars were set alight,
By some good angel every night.
They hung a man for making steam,
They cast his body into the stream.
A hundred years is a very long time,
A hundred years is a very long time.
I thought I heard our old man say,
That we were homeward bound today.
A hundred years is a very long time,
A hundred years is a very long time.
