Waggoner



Saw ye owt of my love Ganning down on the waggon way

With his pocket full of money and his poke full of hay



Aye but he's a bonnie lad as ever you did see

Though he's sair frowsy freckled and he's blind of an e'e



There's ne'er a lad like my lad drives to a staith on Tyne

Though coal black on workdays, on holidays he's fine



My lad's a canny lad, he works down in the pit

He never comes to see me unless he wants a bit



With his silver in his hand and with love in his e'e

I see my canny lad coming to me



Aye but he's a bonnie lad as ever you did see

Though he's sair pock-brocken and he's blind of an e'e
