Lyrics Winter Words, Op. 52: At the Railway Station, Upway 'The Convict and the Boy with the Violin' - Benjamin Britten , Sir Peter Pears
"There
is
not
much
that
I
can
do
For
I've
no
money
that's
quite
my
own"
Spoke
up
the
pitying
child
A
little
boy
with
a
violin
At
a
station
before
the
train
came
in
"But
I
can
play
my
fiddle
to
you
And
a
nice
one
'tis,
and
good
in
tone"
The
man
in
the
handcuffs
smiled
The
constable
looked
and
he
smiled
too
As
the
fiddle
began
to
twang
And
the
man
in
the
handcuffs
suddenly
sang
With
grimful
glee
This
life
so
free
Is
the
thing
for
me
This
life
so
free
This
life
so
free
And
the
constable
smiled
and
said
no
word
As
if
unconscious
of
what
he
heard
And
so
they
went
on
till
the
train
came
in
The
convicted
boy
with
the
violin
