The Little Piecer

Buzzer's blowin', Willie lad,
Lights are blazin' down below,
Come on, best get ready lad,
Time for you to go.

'Sithee Owd Wilson's shut his gate
Henry Arkwright's crossin' t'fowd,
Come on lad, best not be late,
Though t'mornin's dark an' cowd.

Kettle's boiled an' yer cocoa's brewed,
Yer'll find a bun on t'cellar head,
Daylight's breakin' ower th'hill
Come on lad it's time for t'mill.

Schooldays over, Willie lad
Time to earn your daily bread
Clogs are rattlin' in the streets
Come lad raise yer weary head.

Buzzer's blowin', Willie lad
Lights are blazin' down below,
Come on, best get ready lad
It's time for you to go.
