Lyrics

Here's the tender coming, pressing all the men

Oh dear hinny, what shall we do then?

Here's the tender coming off at Shield's Bar

Here's the tender coming full of men of war

Hide thee canny hinny, hide thyself away

Hide thee till the frigate makes for Druridge Bay

If they take thee Geordie who's to win our bread?

Me and little Jackie better off be dead

Here's the tender coming, stealing off my dear

Oh dear hinny, they'll ship you out of here

They will ship you foreign, that is what it means

Here's the tender coming, full of red marines

Hey bonny lassie, let's go to the Lawe

To see the tender lying off at Shield's Bar

With her colours flying anchor at her bow

They took my bonny laddie best of all the crew

Here's the tender coming, pressing all the men

Oh dear hinny, what shall we do then?

Here's the tender coming off at Shield's Bar

Here's the tender coming full of men of war

Here's the tender, coming pressing all the men

Oh dear hinny what shall we do then?
