Can you identify this musichall song about a young widower and crying baby on a Midnight Express Train.?
On the midnight Express as the train trundled on , --------- Throw him out said another , He's not wanted in here, We've paid for our board and our bed Those are the words I remember which my mother sang to me in the 1950's. I want to know what happened to him and his story.
not a clue am curious now about it
