So here's a bit. Subject: Lyr Add: THE OLD MINER SONG From: Jim Dixon - PM Date: 20 Aug 04 - 09:02 AM Here's the text that Mark Dowding referred to. The broadside was printed in Newcastle. This song was printed without dialect, as shown, but dialect is implied by rhyming "use" with "workhouse." Another song on the same broadside is written in dialect, using "ye" for "you" and "dinnet gang doon" for "don't go down" etc. THE OLD MINER SONG Words, Jim Ellwood. Tune, "Dan Leno." |
