He'd had his share ov ups an daansA
His sprees an troubles tooB
Ov country joys an life i' taansA
He'd run th' whoal gamut throoC
He labored hard to mak ends meetD
An keep things all ship shapE
An th' naybor's sed 'at lived i'th' streetD
He's a varry daycent chapE
-
He paid his rent an gave his wifeF
Enuff for clooas an grubG
To pleas her he'd insured his lifeF
An joined a burial clubG
His childer grander nivver ranH
To climb a father's kneeI
Noa better wife had onny manH
Noa praader chap could beI
-
He tuk noa stock i' fleetin timeJ
He nivver caanted th' yearsA
For he wor hale just in his primeJ
An nowt to cause him fearsA
He nivver dreamt ov growin oldK
Sich thowts ne'er made him freatK
He sed Why aw'm as gooid as goldK
Aw'm but a youngster yetK
-
His childer thrave like willow wandsA
An made fine maids an menL
But th' thowt ne'er entered in his nutK
'At he grew old hissenL
His e'en wor oppened one fine dayK
His dreams o' youth all fledK
An th' reason on it wor they sayK
His dowter shoo gate wedK
-
E'a gow he sed but this licks meI
Shoo's but a child hersenL
Ov all things why it connot beI
Her thowts should turn to menL
Whisht sed his wife we wed as youngM
An shoo's moor sense bi farC
An then tha knows shoo's th' grandest lassA
'At lives at Batley CarrC
-
He gave a grooan for on his lassA
He'd set a deal o' stooarC
He lit his pipe an filled his glassA
Then fixed his e'en o'th' flooarC
By gum he sed but this is roughN
Aw ne'er knew owt as badK
If shoo's a wife its plain enuffN
Aw connot be a ladK
-
Aw must be old aw say old lassA
Does't think aw'm growin greyC
Gooid gracious but ha time does passA
But tha doesn't age a dayC
Tha'rt just as buxum nah as thenL
Aw'st think tha must feel shamedK
Tha luks as young as her thisenL
Or could do if tha framedK
-
Aw'st ha to alter all mi waysA
Noa moor aw'st ha to rooamI
Just sattle daan an end mi daysA
Cronkt up bith' hob at hooamI
An 'fore owts long as like as netK
Wol crooidled up i'th' nookO
Ther'll be some youngster browt aw'll betK
To watch his grondad smookO
-
Do stop aw wonder ha tha darC
Behave thi soa unkindK
Does't think 'at th' lads i' Batley CarrC
Are all booath dumb an blindK
Shoo's wed a steady honest chapE
An shoo's booath gooid an fairC
Ther's net another fit to swapP
They mak a gradely pairC
-
'Man worn't made to live alooan '-
Tha tell'd me that thisenL
Tha needn't shak thi heead an grooanL
Tha's happen changed sin thenL
But if ther ivver wor a crankO
It's been my luck to seeI
It wor my childer's fatherC
When he furst coom coortin meI
-
But rest content its all for th' bestK
An then tha must ha knownL
Shoo thowt it time at shoo possestK
A nice hooam ov her ownL
Well may they prosper That's my prayerC
They'st nivver want a friendK
Wol aw'm alive but aw'st bewareC
An watch theas younger endK
