MYEK PEACE! TEUN-"Cappy's the Dog." MYEK peace I-can ye find any gud iv a row? Wiv a smack on the nose or a crack on the pow, Wi' yor skull nearly dayver'd, yor eyes a' but blind, What gud i' such mischief can anyone find? Korus, So aw hope ye'll make peace, An' yor plissures increase, Wiv a gud hearty sosheeble Happy-like peace. Nivvor eg a man on wiv anuther te fight, Or get him te hammer sum chep for yor spite, That's a thing aw knaw often greet cooerds 'ill de, Myek peace!-ay, an' try te myek a' men agree. Myek peace I-an' the pollis ye nivvor need fear, Ye can say te yor-sel that he's not wanted here! Man an' wife shuddent put one anuther aboot, An' canny young sweethearts shud nivvor fall oot. Aw cud nivvor see owt iv a row in the hoose, But led tiv hard words an' a' kinds ov abuse, Exposin' affairs te yor neybors se true, That the forst time ye hear them repeated ye rue. l' yor unruly moments just think ov me sang, It 'ill hinder ye surely for dein mair rang, An' yor sartin te find a' yor plissures increase, If ye just myek't yor study to heh nowt but peace. So aw hope ye'll myek peace, An' yor plissures increase, Wiv a gud hearty sosheeble Happy-like peace! -Source: Joe Wilson, (author) Songs and Drolleries, 1890
