Amble Feast

Haven't ye heard of the Amble Feast
Hinnies ye've missed a treat
From North to South from West to East
Ivryone there ye'll meet
Lasses and lads have a gala day
As they prance aboot wi' glee
They dance on the green so if ye've not been
Then hurry alang wi'me

Chorus-
Come alang to the feast at Amble
Join the fun it's a regular scramble
Ivrybody will frolic and gambol
Hey nonny nonny and derry down day
Aall the hinnies from Warkworth and Ashington
Blyth and Newbiggin will be there
Such a pushin' and shovin' and jostlin'
Aall good humoured at Amble Fair
Come alang etc.

See the fat wives in the switch back cars
Shriekin' wi' nervous fright
Some others will choose the shuggy shoes
Yellin' with aall thor might
Children gan oon to the roondaboots
An the lads to the coco-nut shies
the lasses mair bold have their fotunes told
While some have hot peas and pies.

Coda.

Feastin' away,happy nad gay
Hey nonny nonny and derry down day.
