Hey for the buff and the blue,
Hey for the cap and the feather,
Hey for the bonny lass true,
That lives in Hexhamshire.
Through by the Saiby Syke,
And over the mass and the mire,
I'll go to see my lass,
Who lives in Hexhamshire.
Researcher Matt Seattle finds that both lyrics and tune are related to the Scottish song "Aye Waukin O.
