On the edge of a wood stood a well
Between Walker’s stead and the dell
Ha’way man young Alan
Aright mortal off balance
Down into the well he full fell
Between Walker’s stead and the dell
Ha’way man young Alan
Aright mortal off balance
Down into the well he full fell
Ha'way is a typical expression from the north east of England, particularly prominent in the Geordie accent
This poem is dedicated to a man called Alan, whose favourite pub was the Highwayman.
