Wi' you a-lost where I do bide,

O Jessie Lee, in any pleäce

Your vaïce an' feäce ha' blest vor me.

I'm sure that when a soul's a-brought

To this our life ov aïr an' land,

Woone mwore's a-mark'd in God's good thought,

To help, wi' love, his heart an' hand.

An' oh! if there should be in store

An angel here vor my poor door,

'Tis Jessie Lee, vor sweet's the pleäce
