Lally!
Teun-"Wor Family."

Cum listen, me lads, an' ww'll gie ye gud news,
That's sartin te please a' the scullers an' crews,
His chief backer's sarvints byeth often tell'd me
That Lally, thor fayvrit, the champein 'ill be.

Korus.
An' Mally an Sally declare that Lally
The champein's sure te be,
An' Lally tell'd Sally, an' Sally tell'd Mally,
I's as sure as owt ivor ye'll see.

He was born for a hero;-at Alnwick se grand
Ne Gallowgate lad like brave Lally cud stand,
But the gun iv his hand hes ne chance wi' the scull,
For if lickt for a boat, whey, the Dredger he''d pull.

He's a thorough-bred game un for distance an' speed,
An' thor's ne man alive can put oot ov his heed
What he thinks he can de, an' aw'll ventor te say
He wad pull fifty matches, ay, day efter day.

If ye doot maw opinion, Pete Hewitt 'ill tell
Far mair then aw knaw, or he knaws hes-sel,
An' whe'll beat Joe Sadler, whenivor he's had,
Ax Lally his-sel, an' he'll say he's the lad!
