Does this Geordie tune have lyrics? If so would you enlighten me as to where I might find them?

Hi DeeAnn, I posted a similar request a year or two back, without luck. It sure sounds like it should have lyrics, doesn't it? I don't even know the origins of the tune! Regards, John

Search thus far: Not in Northumbrian Minstrelsy Not in Bell Not in Crawhall not in rhymes of the northern bards

Its a song you say? Maybe a Makem one maybe! :)

I've searched the "Geordie Songs, Jokes and Recitations," book for the title, "Bonnie Tyneside," but wasn't able to find anything on this particular tune. I found a reference to the Geordie book on a UK site at http://www.geordiepride.demon.co.uk/blaydon_races.htm Am embarrassed to say that I do not even know who the Geordie people were, are or where in fact in the UK they might be located. Does this tweak anyone's memory? I would sure like to find the lyrics or history behind it. Regards, DeeAnn

In the meantime you can find the tune at http://www.contemplator.com/tunebook/england.htm. This is a Barry Taylor MIDI rendition. Regards, John
