Keep Your Feet Still Geordie Hinny
Louis Killen Lyrics

Wor Geordie and Bob Johnson both lay in bed one night
Two men named Geordie and Bob Johnson were in bed one night

In a little boardin' hoos that's doon the shore,
The two men were staying in a small boarding house near the shore

But before they'd been an hour asleep a kick from Geordie's foot
Geordie kicked in bed before they had slept an hour

Made Bob wakin' up and roar instead of snore
This woke Bob up and he began to yell instead of continuing to snore

Oh give us that bit comfort, keep your feet still Geordie lad,
Bob asks Geordie to keep his feet still so they can sleep peacefully

And divn't drive me bonny dreams away
He wants to keep his happy dreams undisturbed by Geordie's movement

A dreamt there was a dance was held and Mary Clark was there
Bob starts to describe a dream he had where he attended a dance party with a woman named Mary Clark

A thowt we traipsed quite lightly roond the floor,
He recalls dancing lightly around the floor with her

I pressed hor heavin' breest to mine whilst walzin' roon that room
During the dance, he held her close and pressed her chest to his

That's more than A dare ever dee afor.
This was something new and daring for him

Yer kna the lad she gans wi', they call him Jimmy Green,
Bob knows the man Mary Clark is dating, named Jimmy Green

And he thowt he'd try to spoil wor bit o' fun
Bob thinks Jimmy was trying to ruin their fun

A dremt I nailed him heavy and blacked the big fool's eye,
In another dream, Bob hit and blackened Jimmy's eye

It I'd slept it's hard to tell what I'd a done.
If he hadn't woken up, he doesn't know what he would have done to Jimmy in the dream

Now A thowt A set her hame that night content we went alang,
Bob then recalls another dream where he took Mary home and they were both happy

An' A kissed her lips a hundred times or mare
In the dream, he kissed her lips many times

And I wished the road wud never end so happy like was A
He wished the happy moment on the way home would never end

A cud've walked a thoosand miles wi' Mary there.
He would have been happy to walk a thousand miles with Mary

I dreamt Jim Green had left the town and left his luv to me
In his final dream, Bob imagined that Jimmy had left town and Mary was now in love with him

An' A thowt the hoos was furnished wi' the best
He then imagined that they were living in a well-furnished house

And a dreamt A'd just left the church wi' Mary by me side
Bob's dream then went on to imagine the couple getting married and leaving the church together

When your clumsy feet completely spoiled the rest.
Unfortunately, Geordie's movement in bed ruined the pleasant dream for Bob

Keep your feet still Geordie hinny let's be happy through the neet
Bob repeats his wish for Geordie to keep his feet still so they can have a peaceful night's sleep

For we may not be sae happy through the day
He notes that they may not have such happy experiences during the day
