“I Like to Be There”

Description

"I like to be there when the engine starts early in the morning; I like to sit me down at breakfast time, Just when the engine's roaring.... Then hurrah for the life of the factory While we're waiting for the judgment day."

Notes

This reminds me very strongly of "Country Life"; I'm fairly sure there is influence. But the tunes are different. - RBW
