But we chaps took the maïdens, an' kept em wi' clokes

Under shelter, all dry an' all warm;

An' to my lot vell Jeäne, that's my bride,

That did titter, a-hung at my zide;

Zaid her aunt, "Why the vo'k 'ull talk finely o' you,"

An', cried she, "I don't ceäre if they do."

When the time o' the feäst wer ageän a-come round,

An' the vo'k wer a-gather'd woonce mwore,

Why she guess'd if she went there, she'd soon be a-vound

An' a-took seäfely hwome to her door.
