The Happenny Woods at Bedlington The Happenny Woods at Bellington
May very delightful be
But many a pund Aa've sadly fund
Them woods is costing me
Twas there that Aa met a lass se fair
Dressed oot in hor finery
In the Happenny Woods at Bedlington on Sunday
We started to gan together
She was always meek and mild
And when Aa axed hor if she'd wed
She nodded hor heed and smiled
She said that hor name was Rose
By gum Aa didn't knaa she was wild
In the Happennuy Woods at Bedlington that Sunday She's nowt but a useless painted doll
Me money'll soon be spent
As'm gannin' withoot to rig hor oot
But still she's not content
Hor tongue winnit cease Aa get ne peace
Aa rue that ivver Aa went
To the Happenny Woods at Bedlington that Sunday
Ye've nivver seen such a dorty hoose
Aa hing me heed wi' shame
Little Aa thowt a lazy nowt
Could have such a luvly name
As soon as Aa'm in the rows begin
If only Aa'd stopped at hyem
From the Happenny Woods at Bedlington that Sunday. Now Aa cud have had the lass next door
It shows what a fyul Aa've been
Aa knaa she can bake and mend and make
And keep things spick and clean
The folks in the street says sarves ye reet
For bein' se soft and green
In the Happenny Woods at Bedlington that Sunday
It just goes to show how true it is
That looks can shallow be
And what ye took for gowld is brass
Cos look what it's done to me
So tyek me advice and lads think twice
If ivver a rose ye see
In the Happenny Woods at Bedlington one Sunday.^^ -Jack Robson
