Folk Train

Take a bunch of fine musicians All ready to play and entertain With a gig miles away And you have folk train. Add a bunch of supporters A pint or two of ale And you have all the makings Of a very memorable tale. Between trains in Manchester In a pub both basic and rough When Mc Garry issued his words Terry do some left wing stuff So I performed my poem, About politicians that we’d got Paying scathing attention to Our then current miserable lot They crowded into the small bar And the room was suddenly full As they gave a standing ovation To a performance poet from Hull Then he called on my wife Who easily passed his test Performing her eponymous poem Before a poster of Georgie Best The Folk Train Hull to Hathersage A memorable and amazing day When we filled trains with music Every single inch or the way R.I.P. Mick Mc Garry, Folk Train Leader and amazing singer.
