about

This track is inspired by an old Geordie folk song about two men who find themselves in the same bed. One of them kicks out his feet when asleep, keeping the other from dreaming about his love.
We have used the original chorus from the song while the melody and verses are Baghs originals. (Translation is given where needed for those of a nondialectrahensible disposition...)

lyrics

Dream te drive me cuddy hyem / dream to ride my horse home
Bonny lasses by me side / pretty girls by my side
Toastin' dear friends near and far
Dance te my delight
All through the night
Divent drive me bonny dreams away Geordie lad
Aye keep ya feet still

Keep ya feet still Geordie hinny
We'll be happy through tha neet
Giv us that bit comfort
Keep ya feet still Geordie lad
All through the night
Divent drive me bonny dreams away

Wi a dad from Geordie's byuts / With a kick from George's boots
Wi dunsh his fyut did mek / With a hit from his foot
A canny dream he cowped me creeks / during a pleasant dream he knocked my feet
Wi gliffs a wes awake / With a fright I was awakened
All through the night
Divent drive me bonny dreams away Geordie lad
Keep ya feet still

Had ya pesch no Geordie hinny / Hold your mouth George my friend
Keep frem yakkin through tha neet / Stop talking through the night
Give us that bit comfort
Had ya gob now Geordie lad / Please restrain your verbal utterances
All through the night
Divvent drive me bonny dreams away
