Durham Old Women

As aw' was gannin' to Durham,
Aw' met wi' three jolly brisk women;
Aw' asked "what news at Durham?"
They said--"Joyful news is coming:

"There's three sheeps' heads i' the pot,
A peck o' peasmeal in the pudding:"
They jump'd, laugh'd, and skipp'd at that,
For the joyful days are coming.
