are written with translation in parentheses. Most of the words thus interpreted sound nothing like the local dialect. There are others which are not highlighted which are definitely local dialect and which are not translated. Overall a nice try - but better to get a local to do the song and translation - with their own phonetic spelling.
484:
Wasn't this tale used (or satirized) in Thomas
Pynchon's Mason and Dixon? I am sure that the author of this item is not from the north east - phonetic pronunciation of the version of the song listed is nothing like a north east durham accent. There are some words that resemble the local dialect which
867:
The section makes no sense in general. A person killed in the
English Civil War is listed as 2nd Generation and a person killed in the War of the Roses is listed as 3rd Generation. Either a reliable source needs to be found at replicated or the list of dead heirs deleted.
493:
In the song, I have always known it as "ye 'boUt", not "ye boOt", and most sites on the internet seem to agree. It would make sesne seeing as though we're talking about the Wear region, where it's pronouned "buk", not "book", etc. Any opposition to me changing it?
849:(therefore the 8th generation), who is said on his own page to be the grandson of a Sir William Lambton who died in 1644. This would surely be the same William Lambton who is listed in this article as being the 2nd generation of the curse, having died at the
518:
I think the confusion is because the song was originally is a form of what became
Pitmatic, which is different to Geordie and 'Mackem'. Boot and Doon are correct, at least in the way I was taught it, in Fencehouses and Chester-le-Street.
541:
With regard to the accent, I grew up on
Tyneside at a time when there was a fair amount of local content on the TV, thanks to Tyne Tees Television, and the song was often performed, but as I recall in a fairly standard Geordie accent.
581:
When is this supposed to have taken place (yes, I know it isn't real)? I'm just asking, since he actually had descendants, this man
Lambton, he must have been (based on) a real person.
853:. However, being the grandfather of the 8th generation of the curse, would that not make him the 6th generation? Worth noting too that the section is severely lacking in citations.

Is the link between this article's subject and that of the 1988 film Lair of the White Worm strong enough to merit a link between the two in their
Refences section?
538:
In
Medieval times the terms worm and dragon were interchangeable, a fact noted by JRR Tolkien in the Hobbit where Smaug is frequently referred to as a worm.
