OHNNY an' me was sweethearts
 * Many a year gone by,
 * Stannin' aroun' in the haggart,
 * An' havin' a cooish on the sly.

Till "Mayry, Mayry, Mayry, where's the milk?" An' "Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, you'll be took!" An' "Dear me heart, wherever is that gel!" An' "bless me sowl, that Johnny should be shook!"
 * Johnny was goin' to market
 * With priddhas, an' butter, an' eggs,
 * An' of coorse I was runnin' to meet him,
 * Jus' for to soople me legs.

Then "Mayry, Mayry, Mayry! Where's that gel!" An' "Johnny, Johnny, Johnny! Do you hear!" An' "Bless me sowl, that Mayry should be shook!" An' "Dear me heart what's keepin' Johnny theer!"
 * Johnny'd be firin' the chimley
 * With a wisp of gorse an' sthrow,
 * An' of coorse I was houlin' the matches
 * Jus' till he set it aglow.

But "Mayry, Mayry, Mayry, come you here!" An' "Johnny, Johnny, John, come urrov that!" An' "Dear me heart, wherever's Mayry gone!" An' "What in all the worl' is them two at!"
