lyrics

(Refrain)
I've seen many things on my way to the silvery Tay
Mains and Claypotts bring memories to the fore
Of villages and towns, things I've seen before
As I go on my way to the silvery Tay

Rope swing bridges and a million midges
People in ranks Cleaning up my banks
My tide is rising and its not surprising - I've flooded the park

(Refrain)

Ive seen Asda trolley's and broken brollies
Poly bags and age old rags
I hear sprinters thunder overhead
While kids throw stones on my bed

(unaccompanied with handclaps)
Oh Oh Oh I'm on my way
Oh Oh Oh To the silvery Tay
Oh Oh Oh I'm on my way
Oh Oh Oh To the silvery Tay

(Refrain)

I'm gonna flow so fast on my way past
I'll reach my destination without hesitation
I'm on my way to McGonnigal's Tay
I know i'm on my way - to the silvery Tay
