air- The whole hog or none Now lads ye've heerd of Chambers,
He's bet the Asstrilyen Green,
For pullin a skiff there is ne doot
He's the best ther's ivor been.
He has regular locomotiv ' speed,
He's upreet, honest, and true,
Wheniver he pulls wiv a pair ov sculls
Aw puts on ivory screw! Chorus-
Ohh, ye Cockneys all,
Ye mun think't very funny,
for Bob he gans and licks ye all,
An collars all aw yor money,
Whenivor he rows he always goes
The whole hog or none. Aw hear when Bob was nine year aud,
He oft played the wag frae skull;
He oft wad steel a boat away,
An gan an hev a pull.
Hees fether often tanned hees hide,
But Bob he didn't care,
Now, fether, he says if ye dinnat bray's
Am sure aw'll did ne mair Bob struggled hard fra been a bairn
Fore he got to what hee's now.
He pudled iv walker Rowlin Mill
But he's bull'd heessel safe throu';
An aw hope each job he tyeks in hand
Hee'l always hev fair play,
An think a number one--that is--
Never give a chance away. Now when Bob and Green they pulled thor match,
This green luik'd very wild,
He tuik the lead of Bob at forst
Till they got abyun a mile.
Burt harry gov Bob gthe office then,
Saying aw'l lay ten to ite,
The Reporter of the Chronicle said
That Greeny then turned white. Now Bob hee's licked byeth Green and white,
And Kelly, an' Everson and aw,
An Cooper put the Mackey on,
And stopped the Cockney's craw.
This Green wad fain row Bob agyn,
But aud Harry he wants a bigger stake,
For they munna think to catch him asleep
For he's always wide awake. Tyek Bob all in all, as Shakespere says,
We'll ne'eer see his like agyen,
He waddant de an unjust thing
To hurt poor working men;
Win if he can, it is his plan,
so get yor money on,
For whenivor he shows he always goes
The whole hog or none. -Geordie Ridley
