Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Railway Porter
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Railway Porter
Could it be the Scottish Music Hall song "Wullie Wee" or "Jock Magee" which used to be sung either by Cilla and Artie Trezise or the late Angus Russell? I don't know it all but someone out there might be able to help us both.

I am a railay porter ma name is Wullie Wee,
I'm the maist important feller that you're ever going to see,
For nearly everybody kens me fra Dunfermline ta Dundee,
And ma function is ta tell ye whare ta change fer

CH. Change fer Aughtomoughter, Talliotchter, Creif or Cullercotes.
Fife or John o'Groats, Beechams Pills or Quaker Oats,
Change fer Eckelfecken, Aberdeen and all the stations in a'tween,
Unless ye want ta go ta Tobermorray

Ye should see me wheel ma barra, ye should see me sweep the flair,
If there's no a tip forthcoming ye should hear me curse and swear,
But when the train comes in the station ma heid goes in the air,
An a shoot wi'allma might "ye've got ta change here"

One day The Royal Train cam in ..............
................................................
I saw the Queen was sitting there Prince Phillip he was by her side,
So I yelled wi'all ma might ye've got ta change here
