the wayver o' wellbrook - ben brierley, adapted by harry boardman lyrics

yo gentlemen o’ with yor heawnds an’yor parks
yo may gamble an’ sport till yo dee;
bo a quiet heawse nook a good wife an’ a book
is mooar to the likins o’ me
wi mi pickers an’ pins, an mi wellers to th’ shins;
mi linderins shuttle and yealdhook;
mi treddles an’ sticks an’ mi
weight*ropes an’ bricks what a life! said the wayver o’ wellbrook
aw care no’ for titles, nor heawses nor lond;
owd jone’s a name fittin’ for me;
an’ gie mi a thatch wi’ a wooden dur latch
an’ six feet o’ greawnd when aw dee
some folks like t’ stuff their owd wallets wi’ mayte
till they’rе as reawnt an’ as brawsen as frogs;
bo for me * aw’m contеnt when aw’ve paid deawn mi rent
wi enoof t’ keep up wi’ mi clogs
yo may turn up yor noses at me an’ th’ owd dame
an’ thrutch us like dogs agen th’ wo;
bo as lung’s aw con nayger aw’ll ne’er be a beggar
so aw care no’ a cuss for yo * o’
then margit, turn reawnd that owd hum*a*drum wheel
an’ mi shuttle shall fly like a brid;
an’ when aw no longer can use hont or finger
they’n say * while aw could do * aw did
