I recall hearing, many years ago, a spoof "teach-youself" language record called, "Larn yersel' Geordie". It featured a version of Lord Rendal [this is one spelling I have seen, not a typo], which went as follows, to the best of my recollection:


Lord Rendal (to be sung in a strong Tyneside accent)

Oh, where hev yer bin, my son, my son
Oh, where hev yer bin, my bonny young man ?

Ah've bin to the club
Ah could do with a sub
For ah'm bad with the beer
And ah've had me fill

Where got ye yer beer, my son, my son
Where got ye yer beer, my bonny young man ?

Ah got it at Carter's
It rubbered me garters
Ah'm weary with boozin'
And ah've had me fill

What had ye for beer, my son, my son
What had ye for beer, my bonny big fool ?

Ah had broon, Ah had Ambers
In the back bar at Bamber's
Ah'm weary with boozin'
And ah've had me fill

What became of your money, my son, my son
What became of your money, my bonny young man ?

Ah spent it on lasses
And glasses of Basses
Ah'm weary with boozin'
Ah think Ah'll stay home !





Notes:
Geordie pronunciation: "Hyem" = home; "beor" = beer; "dee" = do;
Geordie folklore: "Broon" = Newcastle Brown Ale (also known as "Lunatics' Broth" or "Journey into Space"); "sub" = loan
Unknown Geordie folklore (to me anyway): "Carter's", "Bamber's", "to rubber one's garters"
