An' who's taen it aw connot mak aat,

For it connot be th' wife, coss you see

It's a paand 'at shoo knew nowt abaat.

But thear shoo is, peepin' off th' side,

An' aw see'at shoo's all on a grin;

To chait her aw've monny a time tried,

But I think it's nah time to give in.

A chap may be deep as a well,

But a woman's his maister when done;

He may chuckle and flatter hissel,
