The first verse is:

If tha'll beer wi me a minute or two, a story I'll relate....
concerning one called Sludger Tom, and how he met his fate,
Now, Sludger Tom, he was the son of one called Welly-Bob Green,
and a finer pair of Dyke men as ever could be seen.

Chorus: Indeed it's true, it is no lie,
he never be seen again, for Sludger Tom,
he dead and gone,....resting in a drain
