Herewith as promisedThe Neibors Doon Belaa
Aa'll tell ye the deins o some of the foaks
that leeves in wor neiborhood
Thor a lot o lazy good fer nowts
and the best o thems far frae geud
Frae Sunday morn to Sat'day neet
Thor cadgin neet an day
Whativor they borrow they nivvor retorn
so ye might as well hoy it away.
CH:
They'll borrow yor onions leeks and peas
Whenivor thor pots te boil
They tak yer hapenny candles
if the cannat get paraffin oil
Whativvor they borrow they nivvor retorn
sich foaks aa nivvor saw
They'd skin a rast for its hide and fat
Will the neibors doon belaa
Thor's Mistress jones set up hor gob
an axed us what aa meant
When aa wouldnt give her haaf-a-croon
te help heor pay the rent
Aa lent her mony's a one before
But aa nivor will agyen
For she caa'ed us a hot-heeded fiery feul
and she hit us wi' a steyn
Aa started a shop but oh dear me
of that Aa seun got sick
Twas like a clock that waddent gan
wi'oot its favorite tick
The mainspring broke, the clock was then
Hoyed oot intiv the street
Aa often said that shop would gan
If the neibors wad de reet
Cheers AWM
