Its a song from alongside the river Wear (Durham, Sunderland and Chester-le-street) - not geordie land!!!
-
C. M. Leumane might have put it down as a musical score, but it was a folk song in County Durham long before some geordie tried to nick it.
It is a County Durham song of that there can be little doubt.
Also to call it Mackem is quite incorrect. It is a Durham song and regardless of your football alliegiences, Durham means Durham.

Once again the song was about an area in wearside, but the song was actually written by a C.M. Leumane for a pantomime which was performed in the Tyne Theatre.

Hmm no you are are wrong on a technicality the song was about an area in wearside, but the song was actually written by a C.M. Leumane for a pantomime which was performed in the Tyne Theatre.
Interestingly as regards your claims there are two versions one is Northumbrian the other Geordy. So in fact the song itself is Geordy but about an area in Wearside.
The song could also be hailed as Northumbrian as the old kingdoms of Bernicia and Deira were united by Aethelfrith, a king of Bernicia.
