The history of the three,—

They are the little orphan pair—

The poor old man is me:

And on the little grassy mound

'Neath which their parents sleep,

They bend the knee, and pray for me;

I pray for them and weep.

Aght o' Wark.

Aw've been laikin for ommost eight wick,

An' aw can't get a day's wark to do!
