    “Every step towards Newmarket one step nearer home, every mile I toil and smile never more to roam.”

    "Every step towards Newmarket one step nearer home,
    Every mile I toil and smile never more to roam,
    Altho' a rover I'll be happy when my journey's end is over
    Every step towards Newmarket one step nearer home."
    I don't know by whom it was composed but it was composed by a Newmarket person.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
