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
Printed in Sedley`s Seeds of Love
The Tyneside song is based on the text in A L Lloyd`s
Come All Ye Bold Miners
