I'm familiar with this song from the singing (charitably so called) of Wallace House, an English singer, on Folkways. His chorus is somewhat different from those above:

The vlies boozz, the vlies boozz,
The vlies be on the turmut
And it's a' me eye, I yus to try
To kyep 'em off the turmut!

I'll have to get the LP out to get the verses, which are generally similar to those above, but one could say an assortment from here and there in those versions.
