All the lads and lasses there

They all had smilin' faces
A7 D
Gannin along the Scotswood Road
G D A7
To see the Blaydon Races
D
We flew past Armstrong's factory
D
And up by the Robin Adair
A7 D
But gannin ower the Railway Bridge
G D
The bus wheel flew off there
E7 A7
The lasses lost their crinolines
D
And veils that hide their faces
A7 D
I got two black eyes and a broken nose

In gannin to Blaydon Races

Away we went again
A7 D
But them that had their noses broke
G D
They went back ower hyem
E7 A7
Some went to the dispensary
D
And some to Doctor Gibbses
A7 D
And some to the infirmary

There were four and twenty on the bus
G D
And how we danced and sung
E7 A7
They called on me to sing a song

The rain it poured down all the day
D
And made the ground quite muddy
A7 D
Coffee Johnny had a white hat on
G D
Shouted 'Wee stole the cuddy?'
E7 A7
There were spice stalls and monkey shows
D
And old wives selling ciders
A7 D
And the chap on the ha'penny roundabout
G D
Saying 'Any more lads for riders?'

Oh me lads, you should've seen us gannin
