[00:00:00] Blaydon Races - The Houghton Weavers

[00:00:05] I went to blaydon races

[00:00:06] 'Twas on the ninth of june

[00:00:08] Eighteen hundred and sixty two

[00:00:10] On a summer's afternoon

[00:00:12] I took the bus from balmbras

[00:00:14] And she was heavy laden

[00:00:16] Away we went along collingwood street

[00:00:18] That's on the road to blaydon

[00:00:20] Oh me lads you should've seen us ganning

[00:00:23] Passing the folks along the road

[00:00:25] Just say they were starin'

[00:00:27] All the lads and lasses there

[00:00:29] They always had smiling faces

[00:00:31] Ganning along the scotswood road

[00:00:35] To see the blaydon races

[00:00:40] We flew past armstrong's factory

[00:00:42] And up by the robin adair

[00:00:44] But ganning ower the railway bridge

[00:00:46] The bus wheel flew off there

[00:00:48] The lasses lost their crinolenes

[00:00:50] And veils that hide their faces

[00:00:51] I got two black eyes and a broken nose

[00:00:54] In ganning to blaydon races

[00:00:55] Oh me lads you should've seen us ganning

[00:00:59] Passing the folks along the road

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

[00:01:03] All the lads and lasses there

[00:01:05] They always had smiling faces

[00:01:06] Ganning along the scotswood road

[00:01:10] To see the blaydon races

[00:01:16] Now when we got the wheel back on

[00:01:18] Away we went again

[00:01:20] But them that had their noses broke

[00:01:22] They came back ower hyem

[00:01:23] Some went to the dispensary

[00:01:25] And some to doctor gibbses

[00:01:27] And some to the infirmary

[00:01:29] To mend their broken ribses

[00:01:31] Oh me lads you should've seen us ganning

[00:01:35] Passing the folks along the road

[00:01:37] Just say they were starin'

[00:01:39] All the lads and lasses there

[00:01:40] They always had smiling faces

[00:01:42] Ganning along the scotswood road

[00:01:46] To see the blaydon races

[00:01:52] We flew across the tyne bridge

[00:01:54] Bring it to blaydon toon

[00:01:56] The barman he was calling then

[00:01:57] They called him jackie broon

[00:01:59] I saw him talking to some chaps

[00:02:01] And them he was persuadin'

[00:02:03] To gan and see geordie ridley's show

[00:02:05] At the mechanics' hall in blaydon

[00:02:07] Oh me lads you should've seen us ganning

[00:02:11] Passing the folks along the road

[00:02:13] Just say they were starin'

[00:02:14] All the lads and lasses there

[00:02:22] To see the blaydon races

[00:02:28] Now when we got to paradise

[00:02:30] There were bonny games begun

[00:02:31] There were four and twenty on the bus

[00:02:33] And how we danced and sung

[00:02:35] They called on me to sing a song

[00:02:37] So I sang 'em 'paddy fagan'

[00:02:39] I danced a jig and I swung me twig

[00:02:41] The day I went to blaydon

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

[00:02:46] 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 always had smiling faces

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

[00:02:58] 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

[00:03:11] There were spice stalls and monkey shows

[00:03:13] And old wives selling ciders

[00:03:15] And the chap on the ha'penny roundabout

[00:03:16] Saying 'any more lads for riders

[00:03:18] Oh me lads you should've seen us ganning
