I lost a’ my shin-splints among the great stanes,

Draw me t’ the shaft, it’s time to gan hame.

Follow the horses, &c.

Oh! marrow, oh! marrow, where hast thou been?

Driving the drift from the low seam,

Driving the drift from the low seam:

Had up the lowe, lad, deil stop out thy een!

Follow the horses, &c.

Oh! marrow, oh! marrow, this is wor pay week,

We’ll get penny loaves and drink to our beek;
