Stottin doon the waal

Today is Friday pay day and the fyece will soon be off
And aa'm glad the week is ended theres nae doot
For we'll ride and draw wer pay and then we'll de away
Get wur dinner put wur clathes on and gan oot

And its stottin doon the waal
Stottin doon the waal
The Frida neet is never quite complete
If Aa divvent get me sup
AndAa'm feeinl me way alang hyeme
By stottin doon the ropeworks waal

Now a gaan doon tae the corner
And there a meets the lads
And we're gan inte the penny wet fur a sup
And we'll gets oot the bones
And a tanner start tae flee
Fur when yer suppin ye never knaa yer luck

And its stottin doon the waal
Stottin doon the waal
The Frida neet is never quite complete
If Aa divvent get me sup
AndAa'm feeinl me way alang hyeme
By stottin doon the ropeworks waal

But later oan again when we're feelin wersels lowsed
We take wursels doon tae the Mem
As we prance aroond the floor
Theres many a chance tae score
And roon the neet off taen the tott lass heyme


And its stottin doon the waal
Stottin doon the waal
The Frida neet is never quite complete
If Aa divvent get me sup
AndAa'm feeinl me way alang hyeme
By stottin doon the ropeworks waal

Last Frida Aa did weel wie little nancy broon
Ya know her father works in Fowerth West
And as Aa was standin in the door
and a thowt te de a bit more
he opened it up and ye'll guess where Aa went next

Aye He sent iss
stottin alang the waal
Stottin alang the waal
The Frida neet is never quite complete
If Aa divvent get me sup
AndAa'm feeinl me way alang hyeme
By stottin doon the ropeworks waal


By chance I was almost done when I came upon this site Northumberland anthology   

The words seem to vary slightly from what my ear was picking up but not enough to bother me so I went with their words. Hope this is of help.
