The South shore, O yes, the South shore, I know it;

Once I lived there and met Pulangit-Sissok,

A fat fellow who lived on halibut; O yes, I know him.

Those South-shore folk can’t talk;

They don’t know how to pronounce our language;

Truly they are dull fellows;

They don’t even talk alike;

Some have one accent, some another;

Nobody can understand them;

They can scarcely understand each other.
