Aw heeard a funny tale last neetA
Aw could'nt howd fro' laffinB
'Twor at th' Bull's Heead we chonced to meetA
An' spent an haar i' chaffinB
Some sang a song some cracked a joakC
An' all seem'd full o' larkinB
An' th' raam war blue wi' bacca smookC
An' ivery e'e'd a spark inB
-
Long Joa 'at comes thro th' Jumples cluffD
Wor gettin rayther mazyE
An' Warkus Ned had supped enuffD
To turn they're Betty crazyE
An Bob at lives at th' Bogeggs farmF
Wi' Nan throo th' Buttress BottomG
Wor treating her to summat wanmG
It's just his way odd drot emG
-
An' Jack o'th' Slade wor theear as weelH
An' Joa o' Abe's throo WaerleyH
An' Lijah off o'th' Lavver HillH
Wor passing th' ale raand rarelyH
Throo raand and square they seem'd to meetA
To hear or tell a stooryI
But th' gem o' all aw heard last neetA
Wor one bi Dooad o'th' glooryI
-
He bet his booits 'at it wor trueI
An' all seem'd to believe himG
Tho' if he'd lost he need'nt rueI
But 't wodn't ha done to grieve himG
His uncle lived i' Pudsey taanB
An' practised local praichinB
An' if he 're lucky he wor baanB
To start a schooil for taichinB
-
But he wor takken varry illH
He felt his time wor cominB
They say he brought it on hisselH
Wi' studdyin his summinB
He call'd his wife an' neighbors inB
To hear his deein sarmonB
An' tell'd 'em if they liv'd i' sinB
Ther lot ud be a warm enB
-
Then turin raand unto his wifeD
Said Mal tha knows owd crayturI
If awd been bless'd wi' longer lifeD
Aw might ha' left things straighterI
Joa Sooitill owes me eighteen penceE
Aw lent it him last lovefeastA
Says Mal He has'nt lost his senseE
Thank God for that at leastA
-
An Ben o'th' top o'th' bank tha knowsE
We owe him one paand tenB
Just hark says Mally there he goasE
He's ramellin ageanB
Dooant tak a bit o' noatice fowkC
Yo see poor thing he's ravinB
It cuts me up to hear sich talkC
He spent his life i' savinB
-
An Mally lass he said ageanB
Tak heed o' my directionB
Th' schooil owes us hauf a craan aw meanB
My share o'th' last collectionB
Tha'll see to that an have what's fairI
When my poor life is pastA
Says Mally listen aw declareI
He's sensible to th' lastA
-
He shut his een an' sank to restA
Deeath seldom claimed a betterI
They put him by but what wor th' bestA
He sent 'em back a letterI
To tell 'em all ha he'd gooan onB
An' ha he gate to enterI
An' gave 'em rules to act uponB
If ever they should venturI
-
Theear Peter stood wi' keys i' handA
Says he What do you want sirI
If to goa in yo understandA
Unknown to me yo can't sirI
Pray what's your name where are yo throoI
Just make your business clearI
Says he They call me Parson DrewI
Aw've come throo Pudsey hereI
-
You've come throo Pudsey do you sayE
Doant try sich jokes o' me sirI
Aw've kept thease doors too long a dayE
Aw can't be fooiled bi thee sirI
Says Drew aw wodn't tell a lieH
For th' sake o' all ther's in itA
If yo've a map o' England byH
Aw'll show yo in a minitA
-
Soa Peter gate a time tableH
They gloored o'er th' map togetherI
Drew did all at he wor ableH
But could'nt find a stiverI
At last says he Thear's Leeds Taan HallH
An thear stands Braforth missionB
It's just between them two that's allH
Your map's an old editionB
-
But thear it is aw'll lay a craanB
An' if yo've niver known itA
Yo've miss'd a bonny Yorksher taanB
Tho mony be 'at scorn itA
He oppen'd th' gate says he It's timeG
Some body coom aw'll trust theeH
Tha'll find inside noa friends o' thineB
Tha'rt th' furst 'at's come throo PudseyE
