Rh Did goo, zome woone way off, an’ zome Another, all a-zingèn hwome; Vor vew o’m had to goo, at mwost, A mile beyond the guidèn post.

Poor Nanny Brown, woone darkish night, When he’d a-been a-païnted white, Wer frighten’d, near the gravel pits, So dead’s a hammer into fits, A-thinkèn ’twer the ghost she know’d Did come an’ haunt the Leyton road; Though, after all, poor Nanny’s ghost Turn’d out to be the guidèn post.
