Geordie Black

Ma name is Geordie Black, aa'm gettin' very aad
Aa've hewed tons of coal in me time.
An' when as wes just a lad,
As could either put or hew,
Oot the others aa could aalways take the shine.

Aa'm gannin' doon the hill,
I cannet use the pick.
The maister hes ne pitty on aad bones.
So noo aa'm on the bank,
An'aa while me time away
Amang the bits o' lads wi' pickin' oot the stones.

Oh. me
name is Geordie Black
In me times aa've been a crack,
An' aa've warked baith in the Gyuss an the Betty
