An' call where fowk's summat to give.

Yo' may have a trifle o' sense,

An' yo' may be both upright an' true

But that's nowt, if yo' can't stand th' expense

Ov a hoal or a pairt ov a pew.

A'a! it's grand to ha' plenty o' brass!

An' to them fowk at's getten a hoard,

This world seems as smooth as a glass,

An' ther's flaars o' boath sides o'th' road;

But him 'at's as poor as a maase,
