Try to find the Bob Fox and Stu Luckley version (not the re-recording on the Hush album, which is fine but lacks the bite of the earlier track) from the late 70s or early 80s - it's fantastic.

Bill S - great translation of the dialect! But I think the Red Row pub is actually in Beamish. It's now called the Black Horse and lies between Beamish Museum and the Tanfield Railway.
