IN REPLY TO ANDERSON'S " CANNY TYNESIDE." 



Anderson, my mannie, I've seen a graun sang, 

 That ye threep is your ain, be it richt or wrang, 

 Whilk ye've made a' yersel' when ye coull hae 



been seen 

 A-wanderin' the road aboot Wa'bittle Dene. 



Chorus. 



It 'ill kythe on ye, Jimmie, an' that 'ill be seen, 

 Gin ye tak thae wanderin's by Wa'bittle Dene. 



Jimsie, Jimsie, say hoo 'did ye foel, 

 Was ye lauchin', or greetin ', or was ye no weel ?
