Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDBA EAFAADAD AAAAGAHA AIJIAKDK LMDMNAAA HAEAOPQD| As Rueben wor smookin his pipe tother neet | A |
| Bi th' corner o'th' little Slip Inn | B |
| He spied some fowk marchin an fancied he heeard | A |
| A varry queer sooart ov a din | B |
| As nearer they coom he sed Bless mi life | C |
| What means all this hullaballoo | D |
| If they dooant stop that din they'll sewer get run in | B |
| An just sarve 'em reight if they do | A |
| - | |
| But as they approached he saw wi' surprise | E |
| They seemed a respectable lot | A |
| An th' hymn at they sung he'd net heeard for soa long | F |
| Wol he felt fairly rooited to th' spot | A |
| I'th' front wor a woman who walked backards rooad | A |
| Beatin time wi' a big umberel | D |
| An he sed Well aw'll bet that licks all aw've seen yet | A |
| What they'll do next noa mortal can tell | D |
| - | |
| On they coom like a flood an shoo saw Rueben stood | A |
| An her een seemed fair blazin wi' leet | A |
| Halt shoo cried an shoo went an varry sooin sent | A |
| Rueben's pipe flyin off into th' street | A |
| Young man shoo began if yo had been born | G |
| To smoke that old pipe then insteead | A |
| Ov a nice crop o' hair Natur wod a put thear | H |
| A chimly at top o' thi heead | A |

| Rueben felt rather mad for 'twor all th' pipe he had | A |
| An he sed Well that happen mud be | I |
| But aw'm nobbut human an thee bein a woman | J |
| Has proved a salvation to thee | I |
| If a chap had done that aw'd ha knocked him daan flat | A |
| But wi' yo its a different thing | K |
| But aw'm thinkin someha th' same law will allaa | D |
| Me too smook at allaas yo to sing | K |
| - | |
| Shoo gloored in his face an went back to her place | L |
| As shoo gave him a witherin luk | M |
| An swung her umbrel ovverbalanced an fell | D |
| An ligg'd sprawlin her length amang th' muck | M |
| All her army seemed dumb an th' chap wi' th' big drum | N |
| Turned a bulnex an let on her chest | A |
| Wol th' fiddles an flute wor ivvery one mute | A |
| An th' tamborines tuk a short rest | A |
| - | |
| Then Rueben drew near an he sed in her ear | H |
| As he lifted her onto her feet | A |
| Sometimes its as wise when we start to advise | E |
| To be mindful we're net indiscreet | A |
| If yo'd been intended to walk backardsway | O |
| To save yo from gettin that bump | P |
| Dame Natur in kindness aw'll ventur to say | Q |
| Wod ha planted a e'e i' yor bustle | D |
