Let us have a jolly spree,
An’ wi’ joy an’ harmonie,
Let the merry moments flee,
For mi love’s come back.
O, the days did slowly pass,
When aw’d lost mi little lass,
But nah we’ll have a glass,
For mi love’s come back.
O, shoo left me in a hig,
An’ shoo didn’t care a fig,
But nah aw’ll donce a jig,
For mi love’s come back.
An’ aw know though far away,
‘At her heart neer went astray,
An’ awst iver bless the day,
For mi love’s come back.
When shoo ax’d me yesterneet
What made mi heart so leet,
Aw says, “why can’t ta see it’s
‘Coss mi love’s come back.”
Then aw gave her just a kiss,
An’ shoo tuk it noan amiss
An’ aw’m feear’d aw’st brust wi’ bliss,
For mi love’s come back.
Nah aw’m gooin to buy a ring,
An’ a creddle an’ a swing,
Ther’s noa tellin what may spring,
For mi’ love’s come back.
O, aw niver thowt befoor
‘At sich joy could be i’ stoor,
But nah aw’l grieve noa moor,
For mi love’s come back.
