MARTIMAS TIME    aka It Fell About the Martinmas

It fell up on Martinmas time
When snow lay on the borders,
There came a troop of soldiers here
To take up their winter quarters.

At Marti'mas time we 'es sike fun among the servant gels,
We treats 'em all to monkeys-up-sticks an' we buys 'em fal-the-rals.
Ah think Ah've bin with all the gels, there's one Ah love the best,
An' for a wife Ah should prefer this gel to all the rest.

Well gan to Mrs Yaddy's, you'll get mucky 'ands
