The
Newport
Railway
by
William
Topaz
MacGonagall
Success
to
the
Newport
Railway,
Along
the
braes
of
the
Silvery
Tay,
And
to
Dundee
straghtway,
Across
the
Railway
Bridge
o'
the
Silvery
Tay,
Which
was
opened
on
the
12th
of
May,
In
the
year
of
our
Lord
1879,
Which
will
clear
all
expenses
in
a very
short
time
Because
the
thrifty
housewives
of
Newport
To
Dundee
will
often
resort,
Which
will
be
to
them
profit
and
sport,
By
bringing
cheap
tea,
bread,
and
jam,
And
also
some
of
Lipton's
ham,
Which
will
make
their
hearts
feel
light
and
gay,
And
cause
them
to
bless
the
opening
day
Of
the
Newport
Railway.
The
train
is
most
beautiful
to
be
seen,
With
its
long,
white
curling
cloud
of
steam,
As
the
Train
passes
on
her
way
Along
the
bonnie
braes
o'
the
Silvery
Tay.
And
if
the
people
of
Dundee
Should
feel
inclined
to
have
a spree,
I am
sure
'twill
fill
their
hearts
with
glee
By
crossing
o'er
to
Newport,
And
there
they
can
have
excellent
sport,
By
viewing
the
scenery
beautiful
and
gay,
During
the
livelong
summer
day,
And
then
they
can
return
at
night
With
spirits
light
and
gay,
By
the
Newport
Railway,
By
night
or
by
day,
Across
the
Railway
Bridge
o'
the
Silvery
Tay.
Success
to
the
undertakers
of
the
Newport
Railway,
Hoping
the
Lord
will
their
labours
repay,
And
prove
a blessing
to
the
people
For
many
a long
day
Who
live
near
by
Newport
On
the
bonnie
braes
o'
the
Silvery
Tay.
