The Road to Cramond

We’re woken very early with a lot of hurly burly

But we tarry till breakfast o’clock

It’s a beautiful day on the John Muir Way

With wonderful views of Bass Rock

Cycling this trail is a merry travail 

And there’s only one minor flaw

On the drab wet sands, where North Berwick stands

It’s literally against the Law

It’s been confirmed that High Street is definitely the high street 

Though Quality Street once had a claim

No chocolates from here but all that makes clear

Is the importance of having the right name

Longniddry tiddley, Prestonpans rebel clans 

Round here John Knox was born 

Musselburgh came before Edinburgh was named

And it’ll be there when Edinburgh’s gone

I’m feeling rather mellow when we get to Portobello 

Though there’s not a mushroom in sight

Then I praise the chief for sunshine on Leith

I’m sure it’s a rare delight.
