Aw ni vor 'interfere wi' wark, 



At least when aw is writin; 

 For aw nivor think it's worth the time, 



Nor trouble ov inditin. 

 Gud subjects we can find bi scores, 



Throughout the whole creashun ; 

 So try agyen and choose a yen 



That better suits thy stashun. 



Thoo says, aw nivor nyem the smoke 



Ov Lemminton an 7 Wylam; 

 Wey! thou surely th;nks aw'vejustcumoot 



A lunatic asylum. 

 Wh/3ii aw write sangs aw try to praise 



Things worthy oV attenshun, 

 But te write ov smoke an* boast ov wark 



Such things aw 11 nivor menshun. 



Thoo sa} r s thoo's fish'd i ? mony a stream, 



Wey ! we differ there agyen man, 

 Te kill a fish, or owt else, thoo 



Must hev a heart o' styen man ; 

 Aw cuddent treed a daisy doon, 



Nor anything alarm, man ; 

 Aw cuddent treed upon a worm, 



A moose aw cuddent harm, man.
