Joe Ramshottom rented a bit of a farm	A
From its owner Squire Goslett his name	B
And the Gosletts came over with William the First	C
And found Ramsbottoms here when they came	B
	-
One day Joe were ploughing his three acre field	D
When the front of his plough hit a rock	E
And on closer inspection o' t' damage he found	F
As the coulter had snapped wi' the shock	E
	-
He'd got a spare coulter at home in his shed	G
But that were some distance away	H
And he reckoned by t' time he had been there and back	I
He'd have wasted best part of the day	H
	-
The accident 'appened not far from the place	J
Where the Squire had his sumptuous abode	K
He thought he might borrow a coulter from him	L
And save going back all that road	K
	-
He were going to ask but he suddenly stopped	M
And he said Nay I'd better not call	N
He might think it cheek I borrowed from him	L
I'd best get my own after all	N
	-
He were going off back when he turned to himself	O
And said That's a gormless idea	P
The land you were ploughing belongs to the Squire	Q
It were 'is rock as caused all this 'ere	Q
	-
This 'eartened Joe up so he set off again	R
But he very soon stopped as before	Q
And he said 'Happen Squire'II have comp'ny to tea	S
Nay I'd better go round to t' back	I
	-
Then he answered himself in a manner quite stern	T
And said Here's a nice how de do	U
You can manage without him when all's said and done	V
And where would he be without you	U
	-
Joe knew this were right and he knew it were just	W
But he didn't seem happy somehow	X
So he said Well there's no harm in paying a call	N
And I needn't say owt about plough	X
	-
This suggestion that he were afraid of the Squire	Q
Were most deeply resented by Joe	Y
He said Right I'll show you I'll go up at once	Z
At the worst he can only say 'No ''	-
	-
Then he said After all as I've done in the past	A2
He would have a nerve to decline	B2
He ought to be thankful to give me his plough	X
Seein'' damage his rock did to mine	B2
	-
Then he said Who is he To be puffed up wi' pride	C2
And behave as if he were King Dick	D2
He's only a farmer the same as myself	O
As I'll tell him an' all Jolly quick	D2
	-
Then he turned round and looked himself straight in the face	J
And he said What you're scared of beats me	S
Ramsbottoms was landlords when Gosletts was nowt	C2
And it's him should be working for thee	S
	-
Then he said I'm surprised at myself so I am	E2
To think I should so condescend	C2
As to come hat in hand to a feller like 'im	E2
And ask if he's owt he can lend	C2
	-
This argument brought him to Squire's front door	Q
It were open and Squire stood inside	C2
He said Hello Joe What brings thee right up here	Q
You'll know in a tick Joe replied	C2
	-
He said P'raps you think yourself better than me	E2
Well I'm telling you straight that you're not	C2
And I don't want your coulter Your plough or your farm	E2
You can do what you like with the lot	C2
