Thor's Cumfort Iv A Smoke!

                      Teun--Bitter Beer."

                      A drink o' beer the heart 'ill cheer,
                      An' myek the mommints glad,
                      But beer withoot a quiet smoke
                      Wad nivor suit this lad;
                      A smoke's the thing,-byeth peer an' king
                      An' poor foaks like thor draw,
                      It's the only thing te myek dull care
                      Dispair te plague us a'!

                      Korus
                      Oh, lads, thor's comfort iv a smoke!
                      Let Rennilds lector throo the world
                      Or let him haud his jaw,
                      Thor's nowt that can console a man
                      Like a quiet frindly draw!

                      Beside the fire's bleein flame,
                      Upon a frosty neet,
                      Surroondid be sum tawky frinds,
                      A smoke myeks a' complete;
                      When teuthewark myeks ye wish yor heed
                      Wes laid at rest belaw,
                      Ye'll often find a greet releef
                      Iv a sweet consolin draw!

                      When trampin on a weary road
                      Withoot a frind or mate,
                      A pipe o'baccy quite revives
                      The sowl's dispondin state;
                      When trubbil shows its ugly fyece
                      Te myek yor sporrits law,
                      Or bother'd wi' sum puzzlin thowt,
                      Thor's cumfort iv a draw!

                      When anxshus fears prey on the mind,
                      Or sorrow sends you share,
                      Or solitude myeks weary time,
                      Whte cloods dispel the care;
                      Gie me me pipe an' half-an-oonce
                      O'shag,--for weel aw knaw
                      The emblim o' domestic peace
                      Is a quiet frindly draw!
