Kathleen Ferrier, Phyllis Spurr - The Keel Row Lyrics

cs I came thro' Sandgate,
Thro' Sandgate, thro' Sandgate,
cs I came thro' Sandgate,
I heard a lassie sing:

cs I came thro' Sandgate,
Thro' Sandgate, thro' Sandgate,
cs I came thro' Sandgate,
I heard a lassie sing:

O, weel may the keel row,
The keel row, the keel row,
O weel may the keel row
That my laddie's in.'

O, weel may the keel row,
The keel row, the keel row,
O weel may the keel row
That my laddie's in.'

'O wha's like my Johnnie,
Sae leish, sae blithe, sae bonnie?
He's foremost 'mang the mony
Keel lads o' coaly Tyne;

'O wha's like my Johnnie,
Sae leish, sae blithe, sae bonnie?
He's foremost 'mang the mony
Keel lads o' coaly Tyne;

He'll set or row sae tightly
Or, in the dance sae sprightly,
He'll cut and shuffle slightly,
'Tis true, were he nae mine.'

He'll set or row sae tightly
Or, in the dance sae sprightly,
He'll cut and shuffle slightly,
'Tis true, were he nae mine.

'He wears a blue bonnet,
Blue bonnet, blue bonnet,
He wears a blue bonnet
c dimple in his chin.

'He wears a blue bonnet,
Blue bonnet, blue bonnet,
He wears a blue bonnet
c dimple in his chin.

cnd weel may the keel row,
The keel row, the keel row,
cnd weel may the keel row
That my laddie's in.'

cnd weel may the keel row,
The keel row, the keel row,
cnd weel may the keel row
That my laddie's in.'
