Mistress Moore is Johnny's wifeA
An Johnny is a druffen sotB
He spends th' best portion of his lifeA
Ith' beershop wi a pipe an potC
At schooil together John an meD
Set side by side like trusty chumsE
An nivver did we disagreeD
Till furst we met sweet Lizzy LumbsE
At John shoo smiledF
An aw wor riledF
Shoo showed shoo loved him moor nor meD
Her bonny e'enG
Aw've seldom seenH
Sin that sad day shoo slighted meD
-
Aw've heeard fowk say shoo has to wantI
For Johnny ofttimes gets oth' spreeD
He spends his wages in a rantJ
An leeaves his wife to pine or deeD
An monny a time awve ligged i' bedK
An cursed my fate for bein poorL
An monny a bitter tear awve shedK
When thinkin ov sweet Mistress MooreM
For shoo's mi lifeA
Is Johnny's wifeA
An tho to love her isn't reetK
What con aw doK
When all th' neet throoM
Awm dreamin ov her e'en soa breetK
-
Aw'll goa away an leeave this spotK
For fear at we should ivver meetK
For if we did as sure as shotK
Awst throw me daan anent her feetK
Aw know shoo'd think aw wor a fooilN
To love a woman when shoo's wedK
But sin aw saw her furst at schooilN
It's been a wretched life aw've ledK
But th' time has comeO
To leeave mi hooamO
An th' sea between us sooin shall roarM
Yet still mi heartK
Will nivver partK
Wi' th' image ov sweet Mistress MooreM
