The Lads Upon the Wear!
Teun-"Aw'll sing ye a Tyneside Sang."
I' Sunderland let's sing
What shud myek the whole hoose ring,
It's a sang that's sartin a' the lads te cheer,
For it gladdens ivry toon
When thor natives gain renoon,
An' thor's hundreds that's deun that upon the Wear.
Korus.
An' ho, me lads, it myeks me heart se glad
Te sing ye a sang te please ye here,
Then give a hearty cheer
For the lads upon the Wear,
Ay a hearty cheer for them upon the Wear!
What a greet success they've myed
I' myest ivry kind o' trade,
Ne shipbuilders I' the world they'll ivor fear,
An' greet launches keep thor pride
Always on the brightest side,
An' the sailors a' declare se on the Wear!
They've a toon that's often praised,
An' byeth Pier an' Park they've raised,
An' examples set tiv uthors far an' near;
When the Nine Oors Strike begun,
It wes gain'd and fairly wun,
Forst and foremost, be the lads upon the Wear!
The iv nearly ivry sport,
Whey, ye'll seldum find them short,
An' sum day thor'll be a champein sculler here;
Let this always be yor boast,
An' yor plissure when ye toast,
"May success attend the lads upon the Wear!"
-Joe Wilson
