To exercise my speäde an' shovel;

An' what wi' dungèn, diggèn up, an' zeedèn,

A-thinnèn, cleänèn, howèn up an' weedèn,

I, an' the biggest o' the childern too,

Do always vind some useful jobs to do.

JOHN.

Aye, wi' a bit o' ground, if woone got any,

Woone's bwoys can soon get out an' eärn a penny;

An' then, by workèn, they do learn the vaster

The way to do things when they have a meäster;
