Waggoner
Lloyd · Other Songs - Lloyd
Saw ye owt of my love Ganning down on the waggon way
With his pocket full of money and his poke full of hay
Aye but he's a bonnie lad as ever you did see
Though he's sair frowsy freckled and he's blind of an e'e
There's ne'er a lad like my lad drives to a staith on Tyne
Though coal black on workdays, on holidays he's fine
My lad's a canny lad, he works down in the pit
He never comes to see me unless he wants a bit
With his silver in his hand and with love in his e'e
I see my canny lad coming to me
Aye but he's a bonnie lad as ever you did see
Though he's sair pock-brocken and he's blind of an e'e
Printed in Sedley's Seeds of Love
The Tyneside song is based on the text in A L Lloyd's

The song captures the artist's signature blend of aggressive flow and street-level storytelling, reflecting the socio-economic realities of his hometown. Released during a period where Lloyd was solidifying his reputation as a premier voice of the Bronx and surrounding boroughs, the recording showcases his ability to deliver complex narratives with minimal production, relying instead on lyrical precision and authentic delivery. As part of his broader discography, 'Waggoner' remains a staple for fans of the genre, illustrating the enduring impact of his work on the evolution of regional hip-hop and the broader East Coast sound.
