"Keep yor feet still! Geordey, hinny" (Roud 6862 [1]) is a famous Geordie comic song written in the 19th century by Joe Wilson, in a style deriving from music hall.[2] Though the words were by Wilson, it is to be sung to the existing tune of "Nelly Gray" (also used for the Liverpool song "Maggie May")
