With this poem I thee glue to’t bed
With my singing I thee shamed in ‘t shed
I’m that honest, we were never wed
With my gurglin’ voice, I drove him mad
Is Grandad ‘ere?Tell him mi finger’s red
Weers our Mam?Am ‘ungry for new bread
Am just a girl from Nelson with his head
We used to say Am not I am
And we said in’t shed not in the shed.We had no shed except for coal as we had an outside closet
And we called mother, our Mam or mi Mam
My mother called her father, Mi Dad
And her sister,our Lizzie.
I called my father Daddy and as he died he never got to be Mi Dad
