APPENDIX III. 



For the following north country sailor's song, with its 

 characteristic Northumberland tune, the Club is indebted to 

 Mr Ed. Oliver Heslop, who procured it, and to Mr J. T. 

 Dixon, who has transacted and arranged the music so that it 

 might be made into the block. 



NORTH COUNTRY SAILOR'S SONG. 



Oh, Amble is a fine town, with ships upon the bay ; 

 And I wish with my heart I was only there to-day ; 

 And I wish with my heart I was far away from here, 

 A-sitting in my parlour and talking to my dear. 

 And it's home, dearie, home! Oh, it's home I want to be! 

 My top sails are hoisted and I mast out to sea. 

 For the oak, and the ash, and the bonny rowan tree. 

 They're all a growing green in the North Countree. 

 Oh ! its home, dearie, home ! 



In Baltimore, a-walking, a girl I chanced to meet, 

 With her baby on her arm as she came down the street ; 

 And I thought how I sailed when the cradle it stood ready. 

 For the i)retty little babe that has never seen its daddy. 

 And it's home, dearie, home ! 



And if it be a lass, she shall wear a golden ring, 

 And if it be a lad, he shall li7e to serve his king- 

 With his buckles, and his boots, and his little jacket blue. 

 He shall walk the quarter deck, as his daddy used to do. 

 And it's home, dearie, home ! 



Oh, there's a wind that blows, and it's blowing from the west ; 

 And of all the winds that blow 'tis the one I like the best ; 

 For it blows at our backs and it shakes the pennon free, 

 And it soon will blow us home to the North Countree. 



And it's home, dearie, home ! Oh, it's home I want to be ! 



My top sails are hoisted, etc.
