My family have sung "Hi fer Geordie, hi fer Geordie. Hi fer the Cock O' the North" for decades. Does anyone know its title or additional words. Thanks from a Scot in Australia.

Oh! It has words? We play it as a fiddle tune...

(It always surprises me when they turn out to have lyrics!)

I just passed 'the cock of the North' pub in Durham the other day and rembered my grandmother singing and playing the tune on her mouth organ... but as for the words ? anyway as Kirk Douglas once said in that splendid film 'Sparticus' ...."I'm the Cock of the North" unless of course anyone thinks differently.

I crosslinked this thread to the other "Cock of the North" threads, and I added a bit to the title of this one to wake up our resident Geordies. I haven't seen the "hi fer Geordie" song, so maybe we're paving new ground here.

I think it's worth cross-linking to this thread, which I started some while ago, to give a slightly different slant on the subject.
