Ne hallion there thrimmels ma money.

’Bout Lunnun, &c.

The loss o’ the cotterels aw dinna regaird,

For aw’ve getten some white-heft o’ Lunnun;

Aw’ve learn’d to prefer my awn canny calf yaird;

If ye catch me mair fra’t, ye’ll be cunnun.

Aw knaw that the Cockneys crake rum-gum-shus chimes,

To maek gam of wor bur, and wor ’parel;

But honest Blind Willy shall string this iv rhymes,

And aw’ll sing’d for a Christmas Carol.
