lyrics

THE WAGGONER

I saw you out with my lad
Going down the waggon way
With his bag full of money
And his poke full of hay

My lad's a canny lad
The canniest I see
He's sair frowsy freckled
And he's blind of an eye

There's never a lad like my lad
Drives to the staithes on Tyne
He's coaly black on work days
But on holidays he's fine

My lad's a canny lad
The canniest I see
And never a one there is I say
Could black him of his eye

With his siller in his hand
And his love in his eye
Yonder I see my canny lad
Coming home to me

My lad's a canny lad
The canniest I see
He's sair pock-brokken
And he's blind of an eye

(Trad. arr. The Whisky Priests)
