Osses by Kathleen Parsons
Years ago George wor a pal ov ahrs
'E wor a dab 'and at mendin' brokken dahn cars
lvry Sat'da' 'e wor aht int' road
'Elpin' sumb'dy wi a brokken dahn load
Along 'ud cum owd joe an' shaht
Nay George lad, wot's ta abaht
Won wilta learn, yons a poor lark
'Osses is best for tahn wark
'E wor a coil man wor owd Joe
'E'd se, Ah nobbut tell 'im an' ‘e'll go
Aye lad, even in t'dark
'Osses is t'best for tahn wark
Nahadays 'Osses is kept as pets
The'r' varry gud fer trade fer t'vets
Little lasses luv ter ride
An' dads go runnin' by the'r side
