Subject: Lyr Add: KEEP YOUR FEET STILL, GEORDIE HINNY
Might it have been a version of George Ridley's "Keep Your Feet Still" ?:

KEEP YOUR FEET STILL, GEORDIE HINNY

Wor Geordie and Bob Johnson
Both lay in one bed
In a little lodging hoose doon by the shore.
Before he'd been half an hour asleep
A kick from Geordie's foot
Made him waken up to roar instead of snore.

So keep your feet still Geordie, hinny
Let's be happy through the neet
For I may not be so happy through the day.
So give iz that bit comfort
Keep your feet still Geordie lad
And divvent drive me bonnie dreams away.

I dreamt there was a dancing held
And Mary Clark was there
And I thowt we tripped it lightly on the floor
And I pressed hor heaving breast to mine
Whilst waltzing roond the room
That's mait than I've dared ever dee before.

Keep your feet still Geordie, hinny
Let's be happy through the neet
For I may not be so happy through the day.
So give iz that bit comfort
Keep your feet still Geordie lad
And divvent drive me bonnie dreams away.

Do you know the lad she goes with?
They call him Jimmy Green'
And I thowt he'd try to spoil wor bit o' fun
But I dreamt I nailed him heavy
And I blacked the young fyul's eyes
If I'd slept it's hard to tell what I'd ha' dyun.

Keep your feet still Geordie, hinny
Let's be happy through the neet
For I may not be so happy through the day.
So give iz that bit comfort
Keep your feet still Geordie lad
And divvent drive me bonnie dreams away.

I dreamt Jim Green had left the toon
And left his love to me
And I thowt the hoose was fornished with the best
And I dreamt that I'd just left the chorch
With Mary by me side
When your clumsy feet completely spoiled the rest.

so Keep your feet still Geordie, hinny
Let's be happy through the neet
For I may not be so happy through the day.
So give iz that bit comfort
Keep your feet still Geordie lad
And divvent drive me bonnie dreams away.
