Little Johnny Robinson.

                      Teun-"Castles in the Air"

                      Little Johnny, blithe and bonny,
                      Sits se canny in his chair,
                      Hoo can he help but be a pet
                      Wi' ivrybody there?
                      Ay, an' ivrybody likes him,
                      When they see his sparklin eyes,
                      Glist'nin wi' thor bright expression,
                      Innocence an' sweet surprise.

                      Little Johnny, blithe an' bonny,
                      Sits content uppon yor knee,
                      Full o' fun an' full o' mishchief,
                      Happy as a bairn can be:-
                      Such a welcum for his fethur,
                      Bright wi' joy his eyes 'ill gleam,
                      Such a welcum for his muther,
                      Equal tiv a muther's dream.

                      May young Johny's days be mony,
                      May they be as glad as noo,
                      May the ties of sweet affection
                      Always be se kind an' true;
                      Gladly wi' thor little treasure,
                      May they spend thor happy days;
                      May his parents live te bless him,
                      May he always gain thor praise.

                      -Joe Wilson
