' Here is an example, the Arkengarthdale Song sung by Arthur to the Scottish pipe tune “My Home”.

Chorus:
Here’s to the men of the Tees and the Swale,
To the Nidd, Wear and Wharfe and Arkengarthdale
And here’s to Charles Bathurst, the fellow won’t fail,
To provide work for t’groovers

Verse 1:
When I was a young lad wi’ mi’ father I went
Up to the mine where mi’ time it was spent
Breaking up the lead ore to help out wi’t rent
And learn the trade of a groover

Verse 2:
Now I’m a youth and I’ll go down below
I’ll go wi’ mi’ father, he’ll teach me you know
How to look for the signs and to hew the lead ore
And teach me the trade of the groover

Verse 3:
I’ve bairns of me own now the eldest is nine
He’ll come with me up to the mine
With his booker in hand reckon he will do fine
Like his father he’ll be a groover '
