'''WE'RE A' DRY WI' DRINKING.''' Northumbrian. The title appears in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes ("The Northern Minstrel's Budget"), which he published c. 1800. There is a nursury rhyme dating from at least the early 19th century that goes:
<blockquote>[[File:alldry.jpg|300px|thumb|right|An illustration of the rhyme from Harry's Ladder of Learning (1850)]]
''We're all dry with drinking on't,''<br>
''We're all dry with drinking on't;''<br>
''The piper kiss'd the fiddler's wife,''<br>
''And I can't sleep for thinking on't.''<br>
</blockquote>
The song [Roud 13581] can be found in '''Gammer Gurton's Garland''' (1810, p. 12) and similar collections of songs and nursury rhymes.
