I packed up my goods all a-sheenèn

Wi' long years o' handlèn,

On dousty red wheels ov a waggon,

To ride at Woak Hill.

The brown thatchen ruf o' the dwellèn,

I then wer a-leävèn,

Had shelter'd the sleek head o' Meäry,

My bride at Woak Hill.

But now vor zome years, her light voot-vall

'S a-lost vrom the vloorèn.
