As I came through Sandgate, through Sandgate, through Sandgate
As I came through Sandgate, I heard a lassie sing: 

"Weel may the keel row, the keel row, the keel row
Weel may the keel row that my laddie's in"

He wears an old blue bonnet, blue bonnet, blue bonnet, 
He wears an old  blue bonnet, a dimple on his chin 

"Weel may the keel row, the keel row, the keel row
Weel may the keel row that my laddie's in"

He'll set or row so tightly or in the dance so sprightly
He'll cut and shuffle slightly, 'tis true were he not mine 

"Weel may the keel row, the keel row, the keel row
Weel may the keel row that my laddie's in"

Note: a keel is a boat; leish is lithe. The song was first
published around 1770, and has been called the national anthem of
the Tyne River.
Recorded, many years ago, by Jo Stafford.
