Miss Julia - The Parsons Daughter

  

 

 

 

I Loike to watch har in the Parson's pew

A Sundays me a setting in the choir:

She look jest wholly be'utiful, she do

That fairly sim to set my heart a-fire

Her gowden hair, a glist'rin in th sun

Them bright blew eyes- good lor, I see 'em now

I carn abear it when the sarmon's done

That fare to make me feel I dunner how

Las' Saddy, I was long o' Tom and Bill

Down on th' allotment, back o' Thompsons Farm

When she come past us, walkin' tard the hill

A basket of the paigles on her arm

Nive evenin, John she say, as she goo by

An' smiled - goodstruth, you mighter knock me down

This is indeed, Miss, I was go'n to say

But there, I couldn't, give me 'arf a crown.

Says Bill, a-larfin, as she turned the lane

She's waiting for yer, round the corner, bor

I give ee' sich a look, he larft again,

and made me fee that mads I could a swore.

I carnt abide it when these bits o' chaps

Talk of Miss Julia, saime as if they might

If she was some bloke's gal, but lor prehaps

I think too much o' har, a jolly sight

That sim ridic'lous nons,nse this, I doubt

A tellin on yer how she make me feel

But who's to help it when she walk about

More like an angel than a gal a deal?

That made me wild to see the Lunnon chap

What come down to the Hall las' Mon'ay week

A-coaxin' o' the dawg there in her lap

She settin' in the garden - dang his cheek

But there, Miss Julia! Law a mussy me

I didn't oughter think of har n' more

That aint as if she knaow I cared for she

And do I reckon she's give me what for.
