Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Nobbut a Cockstride Away
Here's a start
When I first geet wed, I were lucky folks said,
For when't buzzer for work went each day,
I'd no far to go, 'cos I lived in't mill brew
It were nobbut a cockstride away
If weavin' were bad, sometimes I'd get mad
I were fain to go home to me tea
When't bell brought release, I found quietness and peace,
They were nobbut a cockstride away
In life too you'll find, It's a ...... on a mind
The sky [must be] cloudy and grey
But keep ploddin' on, and you'll find that ould sun
Is nobbut a cockstride away
