Think lightly o' the weddèn band.

True happiness do bide alwone

Wi' them that ha' their own he'th-stwone

To gather wi' their childern roun',

A-smilèn at the worold's frown.

My bwoys, that brought me thatch an' spars,

Wer down a-taïtèn on the bars,

Or zot a-cuttèn wi' a knife,

Dry eltrot-roots to meäke a fife;

Or drevèn woone another round
