TITTERY NAN

On Saturday night the wind blew west
Tittery nan tum tario
There was a husking in the east
Fairy nay tory no
Tittery nan tum tario

And old Joe Dimsey, he was there
Tittery nan tum tario
He stole Josiah's tansy mare
Fairy nay tory no
Tittery nan tum tario

And old Josiah after him took
Tittery...
And caught him by the sounding brook
Fairy...
Tittery...

And old Josiah to him said...
"How came you for to steal my jade?"...

"Oh rumpty toodle, 'twasn't I"
"You damned old rascal, how you lie!"

So old Josiah threw him down
And scrubbed his nose upon the ground.
