The uther day we went to Tinmuth,
Some mair young cheps and me,
An' the first place that we called in
Was the Cottage by the Sea.
There was a young lass sitting,
They called her Nancy Till,
She was axin' Aud Bob Ridley
To gan an' hev a gill. Chorus-
Oh, ye lasses all, the truth aw'll tell ye hinny
Tyneside's the place where the lasses are se bonny,
An' if ever aw get married,
There's a Sheels lass for me. Now in cum Billy Pattison
Alang wi' Minnie Clyde,
He said, just Wait for the Waggon,
An'ye'll all get a ride.
Then in cum Annie Laurie,
Alang wi' Robin Grey
The Jolly Waggoner brought in Doran's Ass,
To tyek the waggon away. Then in comes Peter Gray
Wi Rosalie the Prairee Flower,
An' the Young Man from the Country
Alang wi' the Perfect Cure.
Next in comes Nelly Gray
She was singin' Dixey's Land,
And Widow Machree was cryin'
Oh! Tis hard ti give the Hand. Then in cum the Artful Dodger,
He was on the Low Back'd Car,
He was gan ti Limerick Races,
Wi' Pat of Mullingar.
Then in comes Gentle Annie,
She was singin' Ole King Cole,
Pat Murphy, he was thre tee,
Just come from the Old Bog Hole. The Young Man from the Country
Was sittin' on the floor,
He said if he'd a Ragged Coat
He'd Ask for Nothing More.
There is a Flower that Bloometh,
'Tis the Last Rose of Summer;
Ben Bolt cried from the Old Arm Chair,
What's a' the Steer, Kimmer. The next aw saw John Barleycorn,
He was there wi' Nelly Bly,
She sung My own, my Guiding Star,
And No Irish need Apply.
Now it was So early in the Morning,
That we heard the Postman's Knock,
Then we all sang God save the Queen,
An' the Company up was broke. -Geordie Ridley
