Aw Like Young Geordey Weel

Tun-"The Sandstone Girl."

Young Geordey he's a keelman, an' a canny lad is he,
Aw've nivor seen a better luckin one upon the Kee,
He's fairly teun me fancy, an' aw cannet help but feel,
That aw've nivor seen a one yit aw can like half as weel.

Korus.

Geordey! Geordey!- man, aw like young Geordey weel,
For aw've nivor seen a better yit that work'd upon the wettor!
An' he says that he intends te be the skipper of a keel!

Sum foaks may think his feators not as fine as they shud be,
An' striter-luckin noses issent varry hard te see,
But he seems his awn nose better then the best un ye cud find,
An' aw'll tyek me oath on that for a' they say lov's blind.

He smokes an' chows he's baccy just as weel as ony man,
An' can drink as mony glasses as a decent body can;
He can dance byeth neat an' clivor, for a pair o' clogs he wun,
An' a medal tee for singin comic sangs an' myekin fun.

He wun a pair o' blankets at a rafflin just last neet,
An' he's muther says she'll nivor see us beaten for a sheet;
He's gawn te row next Monday, ay, an' when the prize's wun,
He says he'll buy the furnitor an' sittra varry seun.
