The above is the first in a series of Northumbrian songs I hope to add to the digital tradition. This one is from County Durham & is simply the song of a young wife singing the praises of her husband whilst yearning for a higher standard of living for them both.
I may add a Northumbrian glossary at some point should it be considered necessary.
I think the dialect in this song is fairly accessible, though southerners (England) may like to bear in mind that 'round these parts "castle" rhymes with "hassle" rather than "parcel".
