Aah remember me Mam singing the Geordie version te me when aah wez a nipper and aall the other bairns in the family and to my bairns when they came alang.

Clap hands for Daddy comin'
Doon the Waggon Way
His pocket's full of money
and his hands aall clay*

*Clay (or clarts) wez the generic term for mud - so basically the mother figure is telling the bairn that Da's been working hard and today's pay-day so they might be able to afford summat nice

Canny! Eh, Man!!
