I heard the following on Internet Radio a few weeks ago - Frank Hennessy Show (Celtic Heartbeat), BBC Radio 2. I only knew this as a tune before and was delighted to hear that it was also a song. It was sung beautifully by Hilary James (Hilary James and Simon Mayor, Laughing with the Moon). Newcastle Come you not from Newcastle? Come you not away? Oh, have you seen my true love, Riding on a bonny bay? Why should I not love my love? Why should not my love love me? Why should I not speed after him, Since love to all is free? The mist's upon the mountain The valley's washed with dew Oh we loved and laughed this morning And tonight we'll laugh anew Saddle me my pony My finest gown I'll wear And I'll take the road to Newcastle To find my true love there
