Waggoner Lyrics - Lloyd

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
