Oh! Bob the fiddler is the pride

O' chaps an' maïdens vur an' wide;

They can't keep up a merry tide,

But Bob is in the middle.

If merry Bob do come avore ye,

He'll zing a zong, or tell a story;

But if you'd zee en in his glory,

Jist let en have a fiddle.

Aye, let en tuck a crowd below

His chin, an' gi'e his vist a bow,
