Shew's The Way to Wallington

 

O canny man, O shew me the way to Wallington,
I've got a mare to ride, and she's a trick o' galloping,
I have a lassie, beside, that winna give o'er her walloping,
O canny man, O shew me the way to Wallington.

Weel or sorrow betide, I'll hae the way to Wallington
I've a grey mare' o' my ain that ne'er gives o'er her galloping,
I've a lass, forbye, that I canna keep frae walloping,
O canny man, O tell me the way to Wallington

Sandy, keep on the road, that's the way to Wallington,
O'er by Bingfield Kame and the banks o' Hallington,
Thro' by Bavington Hh', and in ye go to Wallington,
Whether ye gallop or trot ye're on the road to Wallington.

Off, like the wind, he went, clattering to Wallington,
Soon he reached Binfield Kame, and passed the banks o' Hallington,
O'er by Bavington Syke, the mare could'nt trot for galloping,
Now my dear lassie i'll see, for I'm on my way to Wallington.
