[00:00:00] Blaydon Races - Thomas Allen

[00:00:15] I went to blaydon races

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

[00:00:18] 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

[00:00:27] That's on the road to blaydon

[00:00:29] 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'

[00:00:36] 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

[00:00:48] We flew past armstrong's factory

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

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

[00:00:53] The bus wheel flew off there

[00:00:56] The lasses lost their crinolenes

[00:00:58] 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

[00:01:07] Passing the folks along the road

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

[00:01:11] All the lads and lasses there

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

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

[00:01:17] To see the blaydon races

[00:01:23] When we got the wheel back on

[00:01:24] Away we went again

[00:01:26] But them that had their noses broke

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

[00:01:30] Some went to the dispensary

[00:01:32] And some to doctor gibbses

[00:01:34] And some to the infirmary

[00:01:35] To mend their broken ribses

[00:01:37] Oh lads you should've seen us ganning

[00:01:41] Passing the folks along the road

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

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

[00:01:46] They all had smiling faces

[00:01:48] Ganning along the scotswood road

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

[00:01:56] 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

[00:02:03] They called on me to sing a song

[00:02:05] So I sang 'em 'paddy fagan'

[00:02:07] I danced a jig and I swung me twig

[00:02:09] The day I went to blaydon

[00:02:11] Oh lads you should've seen us ganning

[00:02:14] Passing the folks along the road

[00:02:16] Just say they were starin'

[00:02:18] All the lads and lasses there

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

[00:02:21] Ganning along the scotswood road

[00:02:24] To see the blaydon races

[00:02:30] We flew across the tyne bridge

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

[00:02:33] The barman he was calling then

[00:02:35] They called him jackie broon

[00:02:37] I saw him talking to some chaps

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

[00:02:40] To gan and see geordie ridley's show

[00:02:42] At the mechanics' hall in blaydon

[00:02:44] Oh lads you should've seen us ganning

[00:02:48] Passing the folks along the road

[00:02:49] Just say they were starin'

[00:02:51] All the lads and lasses there

[00:02:53] They all had smiling faces

[00:02:55] Ganning along the scotswood road

[00:02:57] To see the blaydon races

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

[00:03:05] And made the ground quite muddy

[00:03:07] Coffee johnny had a white hat on

[00:03:08] Shouted 'wee stole the cuddy'

[00:03:10] There were spice stalls and monkey shows

[00:03:12] And old wives selling ciders

[00:03:14] And the chap on the ha'penny roundabout

[00:03:15] Saying 'any more lads for riders

[00:03:17] Oh lads you should've seen us ganning

[00:03:21] Passing the folks along the road

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

[00:03:24] All the lads and lasses there

[00:03:26] They all had smiling faces

[00:03:28] Ganning along the scotswood road

[00:03:32] To see the blaydon races
