Annotation:A U Hinny Burd

The title appears (as "A U A") in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes entitled The Northern Minstrel's Budget, published c. 1800.

Lyrics, given by Bruce & Stoke (1882) begin:

Its O but aw ken well

A U hinny burd

The bonny lass o' Benwell,

A U A;

She's lang-legged and mother-like,

A U hinny burd,

See she's raking up the dyke,

A U A.
