Tha zâ I'm maz'd,--my Husband's dead,
My chile, (hush! hush! Lord love er face!)
Tha pit-hawl had at Milemas, when
Thâ put me in theäze pooät-hawl place.
Thâ zâ I'm maz'd.--I veel--I thenk---
I tâk--I ate, an oten drenk.--
Tha _thenk_, a-mâ-be, zumtimes, _peel_--
An gee me stra vor bed an peel!
Thâ zâ I'm maz'd.--Hush! Babby, dear!
Thâ shan't come to er!--niver fear!
Thâ zâ thy Father's dead!--Naw, naw!
A'll niver die while I'm belaw.
Thâ zâ I'm maz'd.--Why dwont you speak?
Fie James!--or else my hort ool break!--
James _is_ not dead! nor Babby!--naw!
Thâ'll niver die while I'm belaw!
