Es ta seen ahr Mary’s bonnet
It’s a stunner an’ nooa mistak!
Yeller ribbons, yeller rooases
An’ a gurt big feather dahn t’back
Ah Mary went ter chu’ch last Sunda’
T’congregation did nowt but stare
T’parson says “This is not a flahr show,
but a house of prayer.”
Ahr Mary says: “Thy eead’s bald,
nowt in it, ner nowt on it:
Would ta like a feather aht o’ t’ back o’ mi bonnet?
