Could someone with a copy of Allan's Tyneside Songs please put up the lyrics of Ned Corvan's song The Death of Billy Purvis:
Oh Billy you're dead now
Your time it is fled now;
No more will you walk
By the Weir or Tyneside...

Many thanks.

I have no idea who my anonymous benefactor is, but very many thanks.

Also my sincere apologies to the legions of Mackers who are about to write in complaining that I spelt Wear wrongly.
