Most of Clifton's songs adapted their tunes from old folk songs [3] and it is possible that a folk tune is also the origin of the tune for Polly—some see a resemblance to "Nightingales Sing", also known as "The Bold Grenadier". The famous Tyneside Music Hall song Cushie Butterfield (sung even today at Newcastle United matches) is sung to the same tune as "Polly" and is a parody of "Polly". Cushie Butterfield is attributed to the great Geordie comic singer George Ridley, who died in 1864; "Cushie" was first published in book form in the 1873 edition of "Allan's Tyneside Songs". Clifton's death date means that both the song and its tune are now firmly in the public domain. Sandgate pronounced Sandgit, is (or was) an area of the town named from the Sand Gate, one of the six main gates in the Newcastle town wall, a medieval defensive wall, the remaining parts of which are a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The quayside section of the wall was pulled down in 1763 and the Sand Gate in 1798. In 1701 the Keelmen's Hospital was built in the Sandgate area of the city, using funds provided by the keelmen. This building still stands today. They include willy-nilly ("impotent"), flabbergasted ("appalled at how fat you've grown"), abdicate ("to give up all hope of having a flat stomach") and gargoyle ("an olive flavoured mouthwash").The best remains "negligent" - "the absent minded condition in which you answer the front door in your nightie".

Spyen = dry up a cow's milk George Ridley(1834-1864) wrote this very “Northern” alternative to Harry Clifton’s Polly Perkins, borrowing the tune, but replacing Clifton’s romanticism with an altogether earthier feel. Ridley worked in the mines as a boy, but in his late teens he was invalided out and by 1861 had progressed from part-time to full-time work in the pubs and Workers Institutes of the north-east. His songs were published locally and sold in cheap editions. He is mainly remembered for two parodies, this one, and Blaydon Races which according to Steve Roud is loosely based on the American song “A trip to Brighton”. In John Mortimer's A Voyage Round My Father, it is the favourite song of the narrator's father, who sings snatches of it on the most inappropriate occasions. Info: "Cushie Butterfield" is a famous Geordie folk song written in the 19th century by Geordie Ridley, in the style of the music hall popular in the day. It is regarded by many as the second unofficial anthem of Tyneside after Blaydon Races.[citation needed]Cushy Butterfield is the second adopted “Tyneside Anthem” after the Blaydon Races, and also by Geordie Ridley, his last song, circa 1862. It was the wonderful chorus that inspired the name for our first Stout.

Her exasperation is understandable, her history more questionable. In the 16th century, they went to bed at sunset. CUSHY" is spelt differently in Verse 1 line 3 and the chorus from that in the song title "CUSHEY" or modern day "CUSHIE" Far more should be known and shared about this Irish adopted son of Tyneside…and if you wish, you can do that here. The chorus of the song is also sung by Perks the Station Master in the 1970 film The Railway Children.
