They bells, that now do ring above

The young brides at church-door, O,

Woonce rung to bless their mother's love,

When they were brides avore, O.

An' sons in tow'r do still ring on

The merry peals o' fathers gone,

Noo mwore to sound,

Or hear ring round,

The bells ov Alderburnham.

Ov happy peäirs, how soon be zome
