Cushie Butterfield: She’s a Little Cow

Product Information

The second might have been shufti, as in "shufti cush", the most genteel English equivalent being "Dinah, Dinah show us your leg." The chorus of the song is sung by the feverish Sergeant Maxfield in the 1964 film Zulu (1964 film). It was adapted for the USA by Clifton during the American Civil War, retitled "Polly Perkins of Abington Green". Presumably the new title referred to Abington Green, Georgia, in the United States. It was also published fairly early in its existence as "Pretty Polly Perkins of Pemberton Green". This article needs additional citations for verification.

Later during successive world wars, grain rationing led to a reduction in beer alcohol content and Stout Porters dropped from six or seven percent ABV to around four percent.

The chorus of the song is also sung by Perks the Station Master in the 1970 film The Railway Children. It's exactly 125 years since Sunderland-born Joseph Swan invented the light bulb. His home in Low Fell was the first in the world to have electric lighting, the second was Sir William Armstrong's Cragside at Rothbury, Northumberland. Most of Clifton's songs adapted their tunes from old folk songs [3] and it is possible that a folk tune is also the origin of the tune for Polly—some see a resemblance to "Nightingales Sing", also known as "The Bold Grenadier". The famous Tyneside Music Hall song Cushie Butterfield (sung even today at Newcastle United matches) is sung to the same tune as "Polly" and is a parody of "Polly". Cushie Butterfield is attributed to the great Geordie comic singer George Ridley, who died in 1864; "Cushie" was first published in book form in the 1873 edition of "Allan's Tyneside Songs". Clifton's death date means that both the song and its tune are now firmly in the public domain. Gingersfarne, a punk band-cum-cult of anonymous ginger Geordie exiles, released a “badpunk” version of the song as the A-side to their 2017 third EP “A Fishy Butter Dish” which features a cursed image of Brannigan as the cover art.

Good body, mocha head, and a very pleasing sweet bitter balance. Cushy Butterfield is the second adopted “Tyneside Anthem” after the Blaydon Races, and also by Geordie Ridley, his last song, circa 1862. It was the wonderful chorus that inspired the name for our first Stout.

The song was featured, along with a number of other Geordie folk songs of yesteryear, in "Geordie The Musical" which premiered at the Customs House in North Shields in 2015 and was recommissioned in 2017 at the Tyne Theatre & Opera House as part of their 150-year anniversary celebrations.
