In memory of all that died in the Tay bridge disaster, 1879. Tragedy on the Tay The train rumbled on through the Fife countryside so bleak, If only that theyd kent the sheer havoc aboot tae wreak... 1879, a late December night, a ferocious gale wis blawing wi all o natures might, the burning street lamps o Dundee must o been a welcome Sight... The trains now oan the bridge, theres a rattle n a shake, A grinding o metal oan metal then the girders begin tae break... Now we can only imagine the sheer terror in there eyes, the horror o the situation, there panic stricken cries, the howling wind that night was the devil in disguise... Downwards into the waves the train took a deadly decent, towards their watery graves Is the way these pair souls went.
