Scotchy Road

Copyright Irv Graham

Oh me lads ye shuldave seen him gannin
Gannin alang the Scotchy Road with nee buildings stannin
Nee mair lads or lasses there, nee boozers selling ale
Gannin alang the Scotchy Road towards the Blaydon boot sale
He took a walk from Balmbras
His heart was heavey laden
Gannin alang the Scotchy Road
That’s on the way te Blaydon
Theres nee mair Cushy Butterfield
Nee mair Robin Adair
Nee mair Crooked Billet
Nee boozers anywhere
He got as far as paradise yard
His legs were howldin fine
Until I spied Vicors factory
The new one by the Tyne
He cudn’t gan nee futher
His heart was filled with woe
What happened ti the people
Where did aal the industry go
He sat upon a grassy bank
Bewildered He did stare
Nee mair rows of hooses
Nee community anywhere
Nuw is this a thing caaled progress
Or a politicians lie
Away of life disrupted
Away of life to die
Oh me lads ye shudave seen Him gannin
Gannin alang the Scotchy Road with nee buildings stannin
Nee mair lads or lasses there, nee boozers selling ale
Gannin alang the Scotchy Road
Towards the Blaydon boot sale.
