One yeer owder one yeer dearerA
That's what I sal awlus sayB
Draw thy chair a little nearerA
Put yon stockin's reight awayB
Thou hast done enough i' thy timeC
Tewed i' t' house an' wrowt at loomD
Just for once thou mun sit idleE
Feet on t' hear'stone fingers toomD
-
One yeer owder one yeer dearerA
So I promised when we wedF
Then thy een were glest'rin' clearerA
Nor the stars aboon us spreadF
If they're dimmer now they're tend'rerA
An' yon wrinkles on thy faceG
Tell a lesson true as t' BibleE
Speik o' charity an' graceG
-
One yeer owder one yeer dearerA
We've supped sorrow tasted joyH
But our love has grown sincererA
Gethered strength nowt can destroyA
Love is like an oak i' t' forestI
Ivery yeer it adds a ringJ
Love is like yon ivin tendrilsG
Ivery day they closer clingJ
-
One yeer owder one yeer dearerA
Time's the shuttle life's the yarnK
Have thy crosses seemed severerA
'Cause thou niver had a barnK
Mebbe I sud not have loved theeL
Hauf so weel if I mud shareA
All our secret thowts wi' childerA
Twinin' round my owd arm chairA
-
One yeer owder one yeer dearerA
'Tis our gowden weddin' dayB
There sal coom no gaumless fleererA
To break in upon our playB
Look I've stecked wer door and windowM
Let me lap thee i' my armsG
Hushed to neet be ivery murmurA
While my kiss thy pale face warmsG
