Wi' crackers in between their lags,

While zome did burn their cwoats to rags,

Or wes'cots out in holes.

An' zome o'm's heads lost half their locks,

An' zome o'm got their white smock-frocks

Jist fit to vill the tinder-box,

Wi' half the backs o'm off;

An' Dick, that all o'm vell upon,

Vound woone flap ov his cwoat-taïl gone,

An' tother jist a-hangèn on,
