The loom has worn me out!
When I put a shuttle in it,
it broke every thread that was in it.
The loom has worn me out!

Although I am not familiar with it
I am afraid it won't suit me.
The heddles are too close together,
and there is not an eye where it should be.

Do you think it will pay me?
Or that I will get on well with it?
If this is true, I will go
off on a trip to Australia.

Some of my friends say to me:
"You made a mistake.
You were silly, and lacking sense
when you brought that pest here!"


If I get Hector to it,
to put it in order for me,
he'll say to me: "It's a brute
that came over from Uig, unfortunately!"
