With His Owd Grey Beard New Shaven

There were an owd feller come ower the lea,
Eh but Aw shan't 'ave 'im,
He cum ower the lea a coortin' of me,
With his owd grey beard new shaven.
                        
Me mother she towd me to open the door
Eh but Aw shan't 'ave 'im
Aw opened the door and he fell on th' floor
With his owd grey beard new shaven.

Me mother she towd me to set him a stool ...
Aw set him a stool and he grinned like a fool...

Me mother she towd me to fetch him some sugar ...
Aw fetched him some sugar and he ate like a bugger...

Me mother she towd me to fetch him some ale ...
Aw fetched him some ale an' he chucked it in t' pail ...

Me mother she towd me to fetch him some sprouts ...
Aw fetched him some sprouts an' he chucked buggers out. ..

Me mother she towd me to fetch him some bread ...
Aw cut him some bread an' Aw chucked it at 'is 'ead...

Me mother she towd me to take him to bed ...
Aw took him to bed he lay like he was dead...

Me mother she towd me to take him to church ...
Aw took him to church and left him in the lurch...
