Naäy—let ma stroäk tha down till I maäkes tha es smooth es silk,But if I 'ed married tha, Robby, thou'd not 'a been worth thy milk,

And 'a taäen to the bottle beside, so es all that I 'ears be true;
But I loovs tha to maäke thysen 'appy, an' soa purr awaäy, my dear,
Thou 'ed wellnigh purr'd ma awaäy fro' my oän two 'oonderd a-year.
