Ye coudny,
Fur riviters, platers
An wee hodders -on.
See canty boat-builders?
Ye wullny,
Got made re-dam-dundant,
Ther trade's in th' pawn.
See Newark castle?
Ye huvtae.
Yer river's desertit
The boats hiv a gaun.
See Newark Castle?
Ye oughty.
The Saltire's high flying
Tae greet a new dawn.
(Newark Castle (16th c.) was surrounded by shipyards an could only be seen from the river. The dual carriageway of the A8 now runs through the site of the once busy shipyard to give ful view of Port Glasgow's eastern landmark.)
