But aw'll laff woll mi galluses braik,

Tho mi bed's net as soft as spun silk;

An' if butter be aght o' mi raik,

Aw'll ma' th' best ov a drop o' churn milk.

It's nooan them 'at's getten all th' brass

'At's getten all th' pleasure, net it!

When aw'm smookin a pipe wi' th' owd lass,

Aw con thoil 'em whativer they get.

But sometimes when aw'm walkin throo th' street,

An' aw see fowk hauf-clam'd, an' i' rags,
