Divvent Bother Us Se!
Tune: Kis i the Ring Te kort me lass aw oftin try,
But mischief shines iv her bonny blue eye,
She'll cock up her nose as aw pass by,
An' she's always pickin her fun oot o' me.
Says she, Can aw help't, when ye plague us se?
Ye nivorsay owt aboot luv te me!
Says she; says aw, Aw de!
Says she, Haud yor tung, divventbother us se!
Says aw, Whey what can a poor fellow de?
Noo whewill ye hev, if ye winnet heh me?
Says she, Haud yor tung divvent bother us se! Says aw, Aw like ye as weel as man can,
Roond the worldfrae Newcassell for ye aw wad gan,
If aw divvent speak fine its as fine as aw can,
An' what else te please ye can ivor aw de?
Says she, Ye knaw weel that aw gan wi Jack Broon,
Sartinly, says aw; says she,
He's the canniest, bonniest lad i' the toon,
Is he tho? saysaw, not he!
Says she, Haud yor tung, divent bother us se!
Says aw, De ye think that ye'll frighten me?
Ye knaw that Jack Broon gans wi' Mary McCree,
Says she, Haud yor tung divent bother us se! Says She, Did aw not see ye the day,
Stoppin an' tawkin te fat Jinny Grey?
Says aw, For a frind mun aw gan oot the way,
She wes axin the time, aw wes luckin te see!
Says she, Wassent Jinny a sweetheart o' yours?
Sartinly, says aw; says she,
Ye'll gan wi' byeth new an' aud sweethearts of course!
Says she; says aw, Not me!
Says she, Haud yor tung, divvent bother us se!
Says aw, It's strange we se seldum agree,
Yor always findin sum falt wi' me!
Says she, Haud yor tung, divvent bother us se! Says aw, For a mnnit just listen te sense,
Aw'll set up a hoose, an' aw'll spare ne expense,
But aw'll want a wife, the set up te mense,
An' aw think that aw cuddent heh better than ye!
Says she, It's yor turn te pick fun oot o' me,
Sartinly, says aw; says she,
Ye'll promise ne mair te plague us se!
Says aw, Yor as daft as a body can be,
Aw'll plague ye far mair! sayws aw; says she,
Huts, lad, haud yor tung, divvent bother us se!
