PRESTONPANS - Nan Falconer

Sung to the Tune 'Amazing Grace''

Prestonpans. Oh Prestonpans
You mean the world to me
From east to west and hill to shore
You are steeped in history.

Yours soap works, salt works, pits galore
Though now they all are gone
In history' pages evermore
They always will live on.

The monks of old, they had their place
And Fowler's brewery too,
The Mercat Cross and.Preston Tower
They all are part of you.

The Johnny Moat, upon the shore.
The brickworks now closed down
Are history ne'er to be forgot
Of this, our precious town.

Prestonpans, Oh Prestonpans
You mean the world to me
From east to west and hill to shore
You are steeped in history.
