Five miles of line in the rain or sunshine

Five miles of line, Burry Port to Ferryside

 

Down below some porpoise are putting on a show

I don’t know their purpose but I don’t need to know

 

A tattered looking dragon is flapping in the breeze

In the cabin hoarse-voiced ladies are singing sea shanties

 

Here’s to anyone who doesn’t know where they belong

Home is somewhere between Pembroke Dock and Paddington

 

Down below some porpoise are putting on a show

I don’t know their purpose but I don’t need to know
