Rhymes of Northern Bards: Being a Curious Collection of Old and New Songs and Poems, Peculiar to the Counties of Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, and Durham
The jailor, for trial, had brought up a thief 23
Ho’way and aw’ll sing thee a tune, mun 25
Odd smash! ’tis hard aw can’t rub dust off 27
Come marrows, we’ve happen’d to meet now 29
Fareweel, fareweel, ma comely pet 31
Whilst the dread voice of war thro’ the welkin rebellows 33
Whilst the dread voice of war thro’ our island rebellows 34
As me and my marrow was ganning to wark 35
If I had another penny 36
The bonny pit laddie, the cannie pit laddie _ib._

The young brood fairly fledg’d, we may fairly suppose 77
As Neddy and Betty were walking along 79
Now fill a bumper to the brim 81
I’m lonesome since I left Blyth camps 84
We march’d from the camps with our hearts full of woe 85
Come fill a bumper to the brim 86
Come cheer up my hearts, my brave sons of the Tyne 87
