Blaydon Races - Thomas Allen[00:00:00]
I went to blaydon races[00:00:15]
Twas on the ninth of june[00:00:16]
Eighteen hundred and sixty two[00:00:18]
On a summer's afternoon[00:00:19]
I took the bus from balmbras[00:00:21]
And she was heavy laden[00:00:23]
Away we went along collingwood street[00:00:25]
That's on the road to blaydon[00:00:27]
Oh lads you should've seen us ganning[00:00:29]
Passing the folks along the road[00:00:32]
Just say they were starin'[00:00:34]
All the lads and lasses there[00:00:36]
They all had smiling faces[00:00:37]
Ganning along the scotswood road[00:00:39]
To see the blaydon races[00:00:42]
We flew past armstrong's factory[00:00:48]
And up by the robin adair[00:00:49]
Just ganning ower the railway bridge[00:00:51]
The bus wheel flew off there[00:00:53]
The lasses lost their crinolenes[00:00:56]
And veils that hide their faces[00:00:58]
I got two black eyes and a broken nose[00:00:59]
In ganning to blaydon races[00:01:01]
Oh lads you should've seen us ganning[00:01:03]
Passing the folks along the road[00:01:07]
Just say they were starin'[00:01:08]
All the lads and lasses there[00:01:11]
They all had smiling faces[00:01:12]
Ganning along the scotswood road[00:01:14]
To see the blaydon races[00:01:17]
When we got the wheel back on[00:01:23]
Away we went again[00:01:24]
But them that had their noses broke[00:01:26]
They came back ower hyem[00:01:27]
Some went to the dispensary[00:01:30]
And some to doctor gibbses[00:01:32]
And some to the infirmary[00:01:34]
To mend their broken ribses[00:01:35]
Oh lads you should've seen us ganning[00:01:37]
Passing the folks along the road[00:01:41]
Just say they were starin'[00:01:42]
All the lads and lasses there[00:01:44]
They all had smiling faces[00:01:46]
Ganning along the scotswood road[00:01:48]
To see the blaydon races[00:01:50]
Now when we got to paradise[00:01:56]
There were bonny games begun[00:01:57]
There were four and twenty on the bus[00:01:59]
And how we danced and sung[00:02:01]
They called on me to sing a song[00:02:03]
So I sang 'em 'paddy fagan'[00:02:05]
I danced a jig and I swung me twig[00:02:07]
The day I went to blaydon[00:02:09]
Oh lads you should've seen us ganning[00:02:11]
Passing the folks along the road[00:02:14]

Bring it to blaydon toon[00:02:31]
The barman he was calling then[00:02:33]
They called him jackie broon[00:02:35]
I saw him talking to some chaps[00:02:37]
And them he was persuadin'[00:02:38]
To gan and see geordie ridley's show[00:02:40]
At the mechanics' hall in blaydon[00:02:42]

The rain it poured down all the day[00:03:03]
And made the ground quite muddy[00:03:05]
Coffee johnny had a white hat on[00:03:07]
Shouted 'wee stole the cuddy'[00:03:08]
There were spice stalls and monkey shows[00:03:10]
And old wives selling ciders[00:03:12]
And the chap on the ha'penny roundabout[00:03:14]
Saying 'any more lads for riders[00:03:15]
Oh lads you should've seen us ganning[00:03:17]
