From the play 'All Change'.

lyrics

Denbigh Hall
Words & music: Paul Clark

‘Twould be a stately place you’d think, to call it Denbigh Hall
But until now, it’s truth to say, there was nothing there at all.
Its little pub was never used by coaches passing through,
No fame it had for beauteous barmaid, or for powerful brew.

Now the fortunes of this pub have risen with a bound
The railway’s come right through the place
There’s navvies all around
And ev’ry day they spend their wages buying food and beer
They pack the place up stairs and down with rough and hearty
cheer

The railway coming up from London ends at Denbigh Hall
To travel any further north the trains won’t help at all
But there are coaches right at hand to serve the traveller’s need
To Lichfield or to Nottingham they’ll get him there with speed

Each day the train from London town arrives at half past one
And then begins a frantic rush with trav’lers on the run
They’re jumping into coaches porters stowing bags away
Each coach and omnibus starts out with minimum delay.
