Aa went to Blaydon Races, twas on the ninth of Joon,

Eiteen hundred an sixty-two, on a summer's efternoon;

Aa tyuk the 'bus frae Balmbra's, an' she wis heavy laden,

Away we went 'lang Collin'wood Street, that's on the road to Blaydon.

Ah me lads, ye shudda seen us gannin',

We pass'd the foaks alang the road just as they wor stannin';

Thor wis lots o' lads an' lassies there, aal wi' smiling faces,

Gannin' alang the Scotswood Road, to see the Blaydon Races.
