"Oh yes my love has 'listed and he wears a White Cockade.
He is a tall and handsome man; likewise a roving blade.
He is a tall and handsome man just fit to serve the king.
Oh my very (oh my very)
Oh my very (oh my very)
Oh my very heart is aching all for the love of him".

In this and, perhaps, other songs or versions of songs(e.g. Rambleaway) that seem to originate in the North-East region of England there is mention of the White Cockade. Which regiment(s) might this refer to?
