Can anyone please help me identify a Northern U.K. folksong my grandmother used to sing, about hard times. She was of Scottish parentage, but spent her early childhood in the Newcastle area, so I'm not exactly sure of the provenance.
I only remember a small snatch of the song, which was sung rather like a dirge.
I'm not sure of the spelling of the second word, as it means nothing to me.
The few lines I remember are :

             Peas roes again, Mother,
             Peas roes again.
             You feed me like a blackbird
             And me your only bairn.

             Peas roes again, Mother,
             Peas roes again.

I do hope somebody recognises it.

Thank you,

Helen Stradling,
Penarth,
