I went to Blaydon Races,
Twas on the 9th of June,
Eighteen Hundred and Sixty Two,
On a Summers Afternoon,
I took the bus from Balmbras,
And she was heavy laden,
Away we went along Collingwood Street,
That's on the Road to Blaydon,

Oh me lads, you should've seen us gannin,
P@@ing the folks along the road,
And all of them were starin,
All the lads and l@@es there,
They all had smilin faces,
Gannin along the Scotswood Road,
To see the Blaydon Races...
