An' grin avore a bright vull moon

A'most enough to frighten woone.

An' then we had, vor cwoats an' frocks,

Woak cwoffers wi' their rusty locks

An' neämes in naïls, a-left behind

By kinsvo'k dead an' out o' mind;

Zoo we did get on well enough

Wi' things a-meäde ov English stuff.

But then, you know, a woaken stick

Wer cheap, vor woaken trees wer thick.
