Thread Name: Lyr Req: Song 'Day Return tae Embra Waverley'
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Song 'Day Return tae Embra Waverley'
More info - I thought I should try a few supplementary questions, and our enquirer has come up with all she can put together of the song.
Verse:
At Dalgetty Bay there isnae a station
But you kin alight at a railway halt.
Then Inverkeithing and thru the tunnel.
You'll smell the Forth and taste the salt
Chorus:
Cheap day return tae Embra Waverley,
Rin noo, the trains near awa.
Off tae the hotbed o vice and white slavery.
Innocent Fifers there vanish like snaw.

This is now more intriguing as I think I have heard that chorus - it's qute memorable!
