words: Ed Pickford Music: Ah You My Hinney Bird
There’s Hartlepool & Horden
Ah you me hinney bird
And Dalton Dale & Dawdon
Ah you Ah
They’re all on the coastal way
Ah you me hinney bird
Hartlepool to Seaham Bay
Ah you are
There’s Blackhall Rocks where Carter chanced
Ah you me hinney bird
And Easington where Billy danced
Ah you ah
There’s Crimdon Dene & Hawthorn Dene
Ah you me hinney bird
One clear days Whitby can be seen
Ah you ah
There’s oak trees & ash trees
Ah you me hinney bird
And wild-flowers waving in the breeze
Ah you ah
There’s roe deer and foxes too
Ah you me hinney bird
And fungi on the dying yew
Ah you are
There’s meadows on the limestone
Ah you me hinney bird
And morning dew like rhinestone
Ah you ah
There’s cowslips and meadow wheat
Ah you me hinney bird
And grass that sings beneath your feet
Ah you ah
Oh Hartlepool to Seaham Bay
Ah you me hinney bird
Is Durham’s bonnie coastal way
Ah you are
