KEEP YOUR FEET STILL, GEORDIE HINNY
Air (or Teun) – “My Darling Nellie Grey”
Wor Geordey an' Bob Jonsin byeth lay i' one bed,
Iv a little lodgjin hoose that's doon the shore,
Before Bob had been an' oor asleep, a kick frae Geordey's fut
Myed him wakin up to roar instead o' snore.
KORUS
Keep yor feet still! Geordey, hinny, let's be happy for the neet,
For aw mayn’t be se happy throo the day.
So give us that bit cumfort, --keep yor feet still, Geordey lad,
An' dinnet send maw bonny dreams away!"
Aw dreamt thor was a dancin held, an' Mary Clark wes there;
An' aw thowt we tript it leetly on the floor,
An' aw prest her heevin breest te mine when walsin roond the room,
That's mair than aw dor ivor de before.
KORUS-- Keep yor feet still! Geordey, hinny, let's be happy for the neet, &c
Ye'll knaw the lad that she gans with, they call him Jimmy Green,
Aw thowt he tried te spoil us i' wor fun,
But aw dreamt aw nail'd him heavy, an' blackt the big feul's eyes;
If aw'd slept it's hard to tell what aw wad deun.
KORUS-- Keep yor feet still! Geordey, hinny, let's be happy for the neet, &c
Aw thowt aw set her hyem that neet, content we went alang.
Aw kiss'd her lips a hundred times or mair,
An' aw wish'd the road wad nivor end, se happy like wes aw,
Aw cud wlak'd a thoosind miles wi' Mary there!
KORUS-- Keep yor feet still! Geordey, hinny, let's be happy for the neet, &c
Aw dremt Jim Green had left the toon an' left his luv te me,
An' aw thowt the hoose wis furnish'd wi' the best,
An' aw dreamt aw just had left the church wi' Mary be me side,
When yor clumsy feet completely spoil'd the rest."
KORUS—Keep yor feet still! Geordey, hinny, let's be happy for the neet, &c
