I have heard of a lilting, at our ewe’s milking 136
In second part I will declare 192
In Bedlington, there liv’d a fair 200
Ihon Redle that som tim did be 210
In Britain’s blest insland there runs a fine river 215
In former times where Hexham town doth stand 227
It happen’d at good Christmas tide 239
I cannot get to my love if I should dee 241
I went to Black Heddon 242
I was young and lusty 257
I’ll tell you a story, if you please to attend 261
In the fine town of Sunderland which stands on a hill 283
Its hey for the buff and the blue 294
Its O but I ken well 296
If you want a busom 298

Like wolves of the forest, ferocious and keen 14

Now fill a bumper to the brim 81
Nought but some demon’s baleful step 206
Now the feather’d train in each bush 216
Next day to the Thatchmeadows I 233
Northumberland lads are handsome squads 247
Now little Billy is gone to the kirk 257
Neighbours I’m come for to tell ye, our skipper and Moll’s
to be wed 302
O
Odd smash! ’tis hard aw can’t rub dust off 27
On each market day, Sir, the folks on the Quay, Sir 43
Oh! where, and oh where does your bonny lassie dwell 61
On Rhenish, Medeira, Port, Cleret and Sherry 66
Of a’ the many bonny corps 101
