In MAIRCR, aw went an' booled Jack Kidd, An' tried te loss-but cuddent did. In YEPRIL, aw wes bad wi' pains, Browt on throo drink an' heavy rains. In MAY, te bet aw did begin, An' backt a horse that diddent win. In JUNE, aw had ne better fate, Aw backt the last un i' the" Plate." IN JVLY, at the West End Park, Aw danced a polka-what a lark! IN AWGUST, aw'd te stor me shins, Wor Peg was put te bed wi' twins. SEPTEMBER com :-aw got the sack, Throo fuddlin wi' me Unkil Jack. OCTOBER:- I' one mornin dark, Aw'm sad te say, aw started wark. NOVEMBER myed me hands quite hard, Aw broke styens i' the prison yard. DISSEMBOR browt us oot 0' there; Aw'll 'nivvor strike a Bobby mair. -Source: Joe Wilson, (author) Songs and Drolleries, 1890
