There is a magnificent performance of this song, by Johnny Handle, on "Along the Coaly Tyne" (Topic). The tune is the same as the version in DT; the words are a whole lot more interesting. This is what it sounds like to me; are there any native speakers of Geordie who can correct this or fill in the gaps?

DANCE TO YOUR DADDY

(traditional)

Weary little Jacky, now a chaw of backy,
Let me have a crocky 'till the boat comes in.

Dance to your daddy now bonny laddie,
Dance to your daddy, to your mommy sing.
Ye shall have a fishy, on a little dishy,
Ye shall have a bloater when the boat comes in.

Here's your mommy comin' she's a cunning woman,
Yonder goes your daddy, drunk he can nae stand.

Dance to your daddy now bonny laddie,
Dance to your daddy, to your mommy sing.
Ye shall have a fishy, on a little dishy,
Ye shall have a herrin' when the boat comes in.

Tommys always ............................
Butchie's good to me I hope he will not fail.

Dance to your daddy now bonny laddie,
Dance to your daddy, to your mommy sing.
Ye shall have a fishy, on a little dishy,
Ye shall have a mackerel when the boat comes in.

I like a drop mysel' when I can get it sly,
I hope my bonny bairn will like it weel as I.

......................
Weel may the kieler ................the bairns I breed

Dance to your daddy now bonny laddie,
Dance to your daddy, to your mommy sing.
Ye shall have a fishy, on a little dishy,
Ye shall have a salmon when the boat comes in.
