GUEST,Colin Bargery Lyr Req: The Railway (Andrew Park) (7) Lyr Req: The steam was up the wind was high 03 Jul 08


Does anyone have set of words for a song that includes the words

"The steam was up, the wind was high,
A dark wind scoured across the sky,
The quarter deck was scarcely dry
Of the boat that meets the railway.
Yet thick as sheep in market-pen
Stood all the Sunday watering men,
Like growling lions in a den"

Its about people returning to Glasgow after a weekend excursion to the west of Scotland seaside resorts. and date from the late 1840s.
