- Blaydon Races song with lyrics, for all Newcastle Utd supporters and geordies. Blaydon Races is a famous Geordie folk song written in the 1800s by Geordie Ridley, in a style deriving from music hall. It is regarded by many as the unofficial anthem of Tyneside and is frequently sung by supporters of Newcastle United Football Club and Newcastle Falcons rugby club. Blaydon is a small town in Gateshead, situated about 4 mi (6.4 km) from Newcastle upon Tyne, in North East England. The actual race itself used to take place on the Stella Haugh 1 mi (1.6 km) west of Blaydon. Stella South Power Station was built on the site of the track in the early 1950s, after the races had stopped taking place in 1916.

Chinese student in Newcastle, love the song! Always put me in a good mood hearing fans sing the song at St James park⚽️
Ha way the Toon
This song was a favourite of Jack Charlton's, god rest him, the legacy he left on our country is immeasurable
Just watched the film. What a man he was, last of a dying breed.
Discovered this song after watching the documentary. Brought a tear to my eye seeing him sing it at the end.
Wish big Jack had ov played for the toon like
That last scene had me in floods
I only know the song after watching the documentary on Jack Charlton.
He not only had a massive effect on the lives of the Irish. He gave many Scots people a great deal of hope and joy to see the Republic of Ireland light up the world.
my school used to teach us this! they also taught us how to play this on the pocket trumpet! lived in Newcastle for my entire life!
Same
toon my army
Same
Same, I live in Newcastle as well 💜
What school did you go to. I live in Newcastle I might know it.
My Dad fought in Korea with the Inneskillen Dragoon Guards. Although from London, all of his tank crew were Geordies. He loved Geordies for the rest of his life, sang this song frequently and always told me "you will never find a better friend than a Geordie". However, having ended up with one as a life partner I have a rather different view and find myself saying poor Ashley everytime I see Chelsea play. Great song anyway
boum62 Good for the "Skins" As far as your football goes, I agree with you.
BLUE IS THE COLOUR!!!!
Many of my Korea buddies were ex-DLI and if we weren't "gannin alang trhe Scottswood Road" we were "keepin' oor feet still, Geordie Hinny"
boum62 cushdy thanks
Come on I am going to sing this song when I am going to Poland in the 3rd of June iam sure they like the new castle song of the blaydon races
Great story and proud to see the Skins and DLI get a mention. I served beside many Geordies and what a fine bunch of men!
A Geordie is a gete good friend
Playing at my Granddad's funeral today. Ahm coming home Newcastle! Wish had never been away!
❤
Newcastle Utd forever !!
Greetings from Poland
Hi
I first heard the Newcastle fans singing this when Newcastle beat Pompey 4-1 at Fratton Park in the Div 2 game in 1983-1984 season.We were totally outclassed by Keegan and Waddle. Hated the result but loved the song!
My dad was born in Jarrow South Shields in 1918 Jarrow is famous for the Jarrow march when they marched to London to no avail Geordies are great people my dad remembers going to see Newcastle play Sunderland he was a nipper he was stood at the back and the crowed lifted him and his friends up above their heads and carried them all the way down to the front I love the accent and the song The Blaydon Races
I'm also a "Jarra" lad, God bless your Dad... Them blokes were salt of the earth ❤❤
I'm a NUFC fan from California and I've been studying the Georide language for a couple years. Shouldn't be long before I'm comfortable enough for a trip to Newcastle for a match
Just get yessel doon there man.
Pete Manning brb putting in google translate :)
+CALISUPERSPORT You should watch "Our Friends in the North"
Why aye, stop clarting aboot
Tynestein will do thanks
As a Scotsman that went with a Geordie Lass for 2 years that it makes me proud to hear this everytime I listen to it. It brings back fond memories to what we had. I was a Liverpool fan since birth and after this experience I came to the conclusion that if I wasn’t a Liverpool fan I’d support Newcastle United. Always look out for the Newcastle result it’s great to see that they are doing well. ❤️
Howay, lad
GAN ON SON! 👍😉
Makes you proud? Why? For pumping a Geordie bird? Aye fair enough.
Makes you proud? Why? For pumping a Geordie bird for 2 years? Aye fair enough, but for lasting 2 year, it's a medal you need lad.

This song so brings back memories of my dad God rest his soul. Guaranteed to be singing this full of brown ale 🙏👍🤣
Even tho I was born in Portsmouth. My Dad is a Geordie. St James always brings tears to my eyes from the passion of the best supporters in England.
If the weather and NUFC weren’t so shite I’d move back to sing with 50,000 fans The Blaydon Races
No excuse for being shit now lad 😂

I work in a care home and one of the old ladies always sings this haha. I’d never heard of it being a southerner so wanted to see how it went so Incan sing it with her. Damn catchy tune haha 😂
Proper mint
Last time the races actually took place (whats now a Power Station) I think in 1916 the Robin Adair pub still stands though or least did do fairly recently (actually when looking at wiki has been demolished apparently)
When I was a wee bairn my Granddad used to sing this in the car when he'd take us home, I lost a lot of my Geordie influence when he passed. He was a lovely man with a big heart.
I was a student at Newcastle University ( 1963)and used to go to Southmoor down mines and I saw pit ponies too. Then went to the local pub and had a sing-song after drinking Brown beer!
Newcastle United forever ❤️❤️❤️
Geordie forever and a Newcastle united fan forever
Howay the fucking TOON
I’m from Newcastle
And my dads from Scotland
Howay lads toon toon
Any Geordie has every right to be proud it's a marvellous song and their passion is inspiring . From a Sussex based Oldham fan.
My dad drummed this song into me..!! His mam was a geordie..and an avid Newcastle supporter..as was my dad..many a holiday I had in Whitley bay...and the embarrassment as my dad got up to sing this..!!!! Could be cockney Johnny!! Fab nights tho xxx
Currently in Newcastle on a stag do with 11 friends from Nottingham, this has been the theme song for the entire weekend. Really enjoyed belting it out and reading the comments below seeing how many memories this song evokes for people!
My grandad were a geordie and loved this song from Leeds myself but it reminds us of him
Geordie raised Liverpool fan, but ahm glad to be raised a Geordie Lass. Might not be a Toon Army lass, but ahm proud to be from Newcastle 🖤🤍🖤🤍

This is just one of those songs that get you into a good mood. Love it when this get played at st James Park!
Smiling faces is myth now. It's all doom and gloom now. Not team I grew up watching.
The old version is much better than the one they play now.

Great things are coming to the kind people of the beautiful city of Newcastle 😍. Love from the kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦❤️🇬🇧.
Was born in Newcastle, but moved to New Zealand when I was 2. Thankfully my dad (born and bred Geordie) helped keep the Geordie culture alive by playing this all the time! Wanna go back immediately!! Go the toon!
WHY AYE MAN! It'll be good to have ya back.
CHAMPION! 👍😉
i'm not a geordie i live in cumbria, but i've supported newcastle since i was 10/11. thats 22 years now! howay the lads!! think i was just born in the wrong place!! :D

People change, some things stay the same, hopefully your love of football is one of 'em.
Some these comments give me goosebumps from folk all over the country

From a life long long Chelsea fan. I have a lot of respect for Newcastle. Even tough you turned us over 2-0. Like I said, a lot of respect.
this song has so many memories for me. growing up my dad was an army officer and a large portion of his regiment was from Newcastle. the soldiers taught this song to me when I was about five and I have loved it ever since. some of the nicest people I have ever met

Finally I know the full thing, my dad used to sing the chorus on repeat when I was little, always wondered where it came from.
There's one verse missing.
"And when we got to Paradise
The bonny games begun
There were 4 an 20 on the bus
And how we danced and sung.
They called on me to give a song
I gave em Paddy Fagan
I danced a jig and I swung me twig
The day I went to Blaydon."
I think it's before the last verse he sings here.
I went to Poland with my friends and with my teacher but my dad died last year plus he was he was poorly.
We sang this song for the Polish students 😊😊😊
My ex-wife's dad was from Buxton and served in Korea with the Durham Light Infantry. He had the very highest opinion of Geordies. I believe he saw his wartime comrades as closer than brothers. I fondly remember my own short visit to Newcastle (from Australia. Nothing was to much trouble for the comfort of my wife and myself (pet). Hooray for the Geordies! And hooray for the Blaydon Races. And for James Bolam and Rodney Bewes :)
i grew up in the Caribbean and ended up going to northumbria university to study... dropped out after my second year and lived there for another 4... had to come back home but fuck do i miss the toon!
A love me accent! Geordie is the best man!
I love it when people try to be geordie and they have a Scottish accent instead
Grandma used to sing this and other Geordie folk songs to us in the bath as kids, fond memories. I searched for it to remember the words to sing to my new baby
Liverpool fan, love this song, so catchy.
I actually went in the Robin Adair pub that it mentions. My older brother had hi wedding reception there. I was only small. Just up from where the Benfield motors Renault garage is now.
Proud of Gazza Geordie pride of England 🏴
Dated a geordie lass once, she told me about this song.... I will love you forever elise barbara robertson. you was the best thing that ever happened to me!
I've lived in Wales since I was 5 years old,now 36,ALL my family are Geordies,all my best memories are of my summer holidays up in Newcastle,it will always be my home regardless that I sound like a Welshman when I speak lol
Hi
I'm from the north (supporting Newcastle Rugby) and I love how the lyrics are written in Geordie, just so no one else has any chance of understanding them xD
Lol
Made me smile not heard it since my da died 45 years ago
My Dads run the Blaydon race tonight so I'm listening to this to give him support.
I'm not a Geordie or a Newcastle United fan (or a football fan in general for that matter), but I'm in love with this song.
Had to listen to this after the win, really made me emotional and grateful to be a true Geordie. HOWAY THE LADS!
Well couldn't have been that much in this day and age lol.
"HA' WAY THE LADS" is what the "Makems" use.
HOWAY MAN
Why aye man.
Why eye mate
Howay the toon
Newcastle just got a new Brazilian fan....engaged to a Geordie girl i also fell in love with this song....the accent is amazing
I would die for Newcastle

Wor school taught me about this, This song gives me goosebumps.
Love that song. took me years to understand it, great people and accent 👍 toon army
Quaint, simple, north country folk. Marvellous.
The cricketers of Durham County Cricket Club would have been banging their bats on the dressing room floor and singing the tops of their voices this week. Congratulations Durham on promotion to Div 1

I live on the south coast of England,but have been to Newcastle twice,Durham once- I have been for a drive In Northumberland,the scenery was stunning-I personally find Geordies great folk-level-headed,sensible,down-to the earth people.One last point,I know he is no longer with us,but I shared Bobby Robson's birthday (18th February) H'WAY THE LADS!
I just moved to Consett and i have to say that people round here are some of the nicest people you will ever meet :)
Yes ..I was born and educated there...you never stop being a geordie......enjoy 👍
My favorite folk song from my hometown! Geordie born and raised right here.
Fantastic...the marching song for the 'Fighting 5th' The Royal Northumberland Fusiliers....The Duke of Wellington 's bodyguard...best regiment in the British Army.
