[00:00:00] Blaydon Races - Thomas Allen/Johnny Handle

[00:00:14] I went to blaydon races

[00:00:16] 'Twas on the ninth of june

[00:00:17] Eighteen hundred and sixty two

[00:00:19] On a summer's afternoon

[00:00:21] I took the bus from balmbras

[00:00:23] And she was heavy laden

[00:00:25] Away we went along collingwood street

[00:00:26] That's on the road to blaydon

[00:00:28] Oh lads you should've seen us ganning

[00:00:32] Passing the folks along the road

[00:00:34] Just say they were starin'

[00:00:35] All the lads and lasses there

[00:00:37] They all had smiling faces

[00:00:39] Ganning along the scotswood road

[00:00:42] To see the blaydon races

[00:00:47] We flew past armstrong's factory

[00:00:49] And up by the robin adair

[00:00:51] But ganning ower the railway bridge

[00:00:52] The bus wheel flew off there

[00:00:55] The lasses lost their crinolenes

[00:00:57] And veils that hide their faces

[00:00:59] I got two black eyes and a broken nose

[00:01:01] In ganning to blaydon races

[00:01:03] Oh lads you should've seen us ganning

[00:01:06] Passing the folks along the road

[00:01:08] Just say they were starin'

[00:01:10] All the lads and lasses there

[00:01:12] They all had smiling faces

[00:01:14] Ganning along the scotswood road

[00:01:16] To see the blaydon races

[00:01:22] When we got the wheel back on

[00:01:24] Away we went again

[00:01:25] But them that had their noses broke

[00:01:27] They came back ower hyem

[00:01:29] Some went to the dispensary

[00:01:31] And some to doctor gibbses

[00:01:33] And some to the infirmary

[00:01:34] To mend their broken ribses

[00:01:36] Oh lads you should've seen us ganning

[00:01:40] Passing the folks along the road

[00:01:42] Just say they were starin'

[00:01:44] All the lads and lasses there

[00:01:45] They all had smiling faces

[00:01:47] Ganning along the scotswood road

[00:01:50] To see the blaydon races

[00:01:55] Now when we got to paradise

[00:01:57] There were bonny games begun

[00:01:59] There were four and twenty on the bus

[00:02:01] And how we danced and sung

[00:02:02] They called on me to sing a song

[00:02:04] So I sang 'em 'paddy fagan'

[00:02:06] I danced a jig and I swung me twig

[00:02:08] The day I went to blaydon

[00:02:10] Oh lads you should've seen us ganning

[00:02:13] Passing the folks along the road

[00:02:15] Just say they were starin'

[00:02:17] All the lads and lasses there

[00:02:19] They all had smiling faces

[00:02:20] Ganning along the scotswood road

[00:02:23] To see the blaydon races

[00:02:29] We flew across the tyne bridge

[00:02:31] Bring it to blaydon toon

[00:02:32] The barman he was calling then

[00:02:34] They called him jackie broon

[00:02:36] I saw him talking to some chaps

[00:02:38] And them he was persuadin'

[00:02:39] To gan and see geordie ridley's show

[00:02:41] At the mechanics' hall in blaydon

[00:02:43] Oh lads you should've seen us ganning

[00:02:47] Passing the folks along the road

[00:02:48] Just say they were starin'

[00:02:50] All the lads and lasses there

[00:02:52] They all had smiling faces

[00:02:54] Ganning along the scotswood road

[00:02:56] To see the blaydon races

[00:03:02] The rain it poured down all the day

[00:03:04] And made the ground quite muddy

[00:03:06] Coffee johnny had a white hat on

[00:03:07] Shouted 'wee stole the cuddy '

[00:03:09] There were spice stalls and monkey shows

[00:03:11] And old wives selling ciders

[00:03:13] And the chap on the ha'penny roundabout

[00:03:14] Saying 'any more lads for riders '

[00:03:16] Oh lads you should've seen us ganning

[00:03:20] Passing the folks along the road

[00:03:22] Just say they were starin'

[00:03:23] All the lads and lasses there

[00:03:25] They all had smiling faces

[00:03:27] Ganning along the scotswood road

[00:03:31] To see the blaydon races
