Tommy the Pedlar

I'm Tommy the pedlar so jolly and gay         
An' aw t' farmers know me around Pendle way
Aw jogs on the road and Aw sings like a lark
Though mon ey be scarce and there's not so much wark.

Wi' me pack on me back be it sunshine or rain
Aw calls at each cottage by meadow and lane
There's owd fowk and young fowk some bowd and some shy
And mebbe they'll want nowt, an' mebbe they'll buy.

You'll oft hear me cry when Aw've summat to sell
In Whalley and Clithera, Downham as well,
Fine laces an' trinkets an' ribbons Aw bring
To set country lasses a dancin' in spring.

Aw jogs up to Newkirk an' dahn to Roughlee
An' there Aw've a sweetheart who's waitin' for me.
She's bonnier than t' flowers a bloomin' in May
Aw bides on her kisses at th' end o' the day.
