Here's a traditional Northumbrian folk song to wish farewell to the November.
I buried my troubles
‘neath the sands of Druridge bay;
Many a Lover has been forgot
‘neath the sands of Druridge bay.
I sunk my tears
To the bottom of Leazes Lake;
There’s many a Love that has been sunk
To the bottom of Leazes Lake.
I forgot what ails ‘z
As I walked down old Kells Lane;
Many a lost soul’s telt the tale
From the top of old Kells Lane.
I drowned my sorrows
Down in Bar 36;
Many a poor man had been drowned
Down in Bar 36.
I’m gonna hide my face
Underneath the Elvet Bridge
Plenty of shame’s been stowed away
Underneath that Elvet Bridge.

Let's sing it. I miss the Sands of Druridge Bay.
There are chords, I'm pleased to say. Otherwise it would be a fairly poor quality poem.
