If you are still interested (this is November and you asked in July), I will transcribe the lyrics and post them here. By the way, for other posters, the dialect is Lancashire and not Rochdale or Bacup. I very much doubt there is such a thing as a Rochdale or Bacum dialect. Lancashire dialect was spoken throughout Lancashire and North-East Cheshire and North West Derbyshire (Lancashire apart from Liverpool and Manchester where the local language was modified in the 19th century by massive Irish immigration, so Lancashire is no longer spoken there). In fact, young people in most of Lancashire and bordering areas no longer understand Lancashire dialect, even though is was the way older folk spoke well into the 1960s and 1970s. In fact, they would not even be able to identify it as "their own regional dialect".
