Cum Back, Jack!

Teun-"Paddy, will ye noo."

"Noo what de ye stand at the door like that for?
Ye say that yor gawn on tramp the day;
If ye think it's best yor sair mistakin,
For ye'll find thor's hardship on the way!"

Korus.
"So cum back, Jack,-wark it's slack,
But ye'll get yor whack o' what thor is."

"De ye think thor's nebody else se poor, lad?
De ye think thor's nebody else 'ill find
The hard times just as much as we de?
If ye de yor owther daft or blind!

"Tho poverty let's us knaw wor poor foaks,
Let's hope that ye'll get started seun;
It's a lang lane, Jack, that hes ne turning,--
Cheer up, me lad- gud times' ill cum!

"Yor rang if ye think wor toon's the warst off,
For I' bad times best at hyem ye'll be;
An' till times cum when we've plenty agyen,
Whey, we'll just he te try an' myek less de!"
