A'a its grand to have th' place to yorsenA
To get th' wimmen fowk all aght o'th' wayB
Mine's all off for a trip up to th' GlenA
An aw've th' haase to misen for a dayB
-
If aw'd mi life to spend ovver ageeanA
Aw'd be bothered wi' nooan o' that makC
What they're gooid for aw nivver could leearnA
Except to spooart clooas o' ther backC
-
Nah aw'll have a quiet pipe just for onceD
Aw'm soa thankful to think 'at they're shutE
An its seldom a chap has a chonceD
Whear the dickens has th' matches been putF
-
Well nah then aw've th' foir to leetG
It will'nt tak long will'nt thatH
An as sooin as its gotten burned breetH
Aw'il fry some puttates up i' fatH
-
Aw know aw'm a stunner to cookI
Guys hang it this kinlin's dampJ
It does nowt but splutter an smookI
An this Hue's ov a varry poor stampJ
-
It's lukkin confaandedly blackI
Its as dismal an dull as mi hatH
Nah Sal leets a foir in a crackI
Aw will give her credit for thatH
-
Ther's nowt nicer nor taties when friedH
Aw could ait em to ivvery mealK
Aw can't get 'em altho' aw've oft triedH
Its some trouble aw know varry weelK
-
Th' foirs aght an it stops aght for meL
Aw'il bother noa mooar wi' th' old freetH
Next time they set off for a spreeL
They'st net leeav me th' foir to leetH
-
Aw dooant care mich for coffee an teahH
Aw can do wi' some milk an a cakeI
An fried taties they ne'er seem to meL
Worth th' bother an stink 'at they makeI
-
Whear's th' milk Oh its thear an aw'm blestH
That cat has its heead reight i'th' potH
S'cat witta A'a hang it aw've missedH
If aw hav'nt aw owt to be shotH
-
An th' pooaker's flown cleean throo a paneA
It wor fooilish to throw it that's trueM
Them 'at keep sich like cats are insaneA
For aw ne'er see noa gooid 'at they doM
-
Aw think aw'il walk aght for a whileK
But bless us mi shooin isn't blacktM
Aw'm net used to be sarved i' this styleK
An aw think at ther's somdy gooan cracktM
-
It doesn't show varry mich thowtM
When aw'm left wi' all th' haasewark to doM
For fowk to set off an do nowtM
Net soa mich as to blacken a shoeM
-
It'll be dinner time nah varry sooinA
An ther's beefsteaks i'th' cubbord aw knowA
But aw can't leet that foir bi nooinA
An aw can't ait beefsteak when its rawN
-
Aw tell'd Sal this morn 'at shoo'd findM
A rare appetite up i' that GlenA
An aw think if aw dooant change mi mindM
Aw shall manage to find one misenA
-
Aw wor fooilish to send 'em awayB
But they'll ha to do th' best at they canA
But aw'st feel reight uneasy all th' dayB
Wimmen's net fit to goa baght a manA
-
They've noa nooation what prices to payB
An they dooant know th' best places to callK
Aw'il be bun it'll cost 'em to dayB
What wod pay my expences an allK
-
It luks better aw fancy besideM
When a chap taks his family raandM
Nah suppooas they should goa for a rideM
An be pitched ovver th' brig an be draandM
-
Aw ne'er should feel happy ageeanA
If owt happen'd when aw wor awayB
An to leeav 'em i' danger luks meeanA
Just for th' sake o' mi own quiet dayB
-
Aw could catch th' train at leeavs abaat nooinA
E'e gow that'll be a gooid trickI
An aw'st get a gooid dinner for gooinA
An th' foir can goa to old NickI
-
Its a pity to miss mi quiet dayB
But its better to do that 'at's reightB
An it matters nowt what fowk may sayB
But a chap mun ha summat to aitB
