@thanasse C'est anglais!
As I came thro' Sandgate,
Thro' Sandgate, thro' Sandgate,
As I came thro' Sandgate,
I heard a lassie sing:
'O, weel may the keel row,
The keel row, the keel row,
O weel may the keel row
That my laddie's in.'
Sandgate est un quartier de Newcastle-upon-Tyne. (Why should the Scots and the Irish have all the best music?)

I do not know if people from Ireland, or Scotland, oxners of that kind of music, realize how lucky they are to bear this in their ADN... How lucky and blessed !!

i like to play this song on my flute

Definitely Geordie! What do you mean a bit too happy-go-lucky to be truly Scottish!
Howay Geordie lads and lasses

Man, you are great at this instrument. I love Irish folk music and it sounds wonderful on concertinas. Really, good job.
Hello! I always love this tune, and you play a very nice version of it. If you bump into a Northumbrian they may take issue with it being Scottish though. I grew up with it as a Northumbrian song as it mentions the River Tyne, and Sandgate, an area of Newcastle by the river where the Keelmen lived. It is likely to be influenced by the growing Irish community at the time however. I liked it all the same.

It was originally described to me as Scots, which I accepted in good faith. On reflection, the tune seems (at least played in this way) a bit too happy-go-lucky to be truly Scottish in origin. Thanks for the tip.
