Wid a few pots an’ kettles a new life begin;

But exparience had taught me a lesson I weet,

Ne’er to live in a valley beside o’ the street.

So I wint to the highest o’ hills I could find,

An’ rinted a place that commanded a view,

An’ got oursilves sittled so much to our mind,

I soon earned the monies, an’ paid for it, too;

’Twas not so convanyent, but still it was neat,

Tho’ my bones ached at night, as I toiled up the street.

The young uns grew healthy, the air was so good,
