Water Of Tyne, The

Waltz · 3/4 · D major

The Water of Tyne is a traditional Northumbrian folk song of uncertain exact origin that has become a well-known staple of the regional vocal and instrumental repertoire. Played in a flowing 3/4 meter as a waltz in the key of D major, its character is lyrical, gentle, and reflective. Because its historical background lacks a definitive early documentation or a verified composer, the tune is best defined by its enduring presence in traditional British folk sessions and song collections.
