THE LAKELAND DIALECT SOCIETY

[ What is it?.. .. I'll tell the'.]

 

We're nut stuck up er prood i't mooth

We're not stuck up or proud in the mouth

Fer t'main on us was bred in't fells,

for the main of us were bred in the fells

We're nobbut wiet, yammly, fwoak

We're nothing but quiet normal(?) folk

Off t'seeam switch as yersels.

An' like yersels, we clag tight tull

and like ? we cling tight to all(each other?)

0't bits o'country ways an' looar;

Other bits of old country ways and lore

We like ta hod a crack aboot

T'auld dale-fwoak' at hev gone afooar.

Mi fadder, (an' nea doot he's reet),
my father, (and no doubt he's right)

Sez t's main o't' fell fwoak er o't seame

says this main out fallen folk are all the same

They "Hawk tagidder" on a drag,
they "hawk and giggle" on a drag

Till Foxy's brush is hung on t'beame.

Till Foxy's brush is hung on the beam



He sez 'at t' interest (like t' auld Fox)

He says and the interest (like the old fox)

Is rousan 'noo fer thee an' me,

Soo join, yersels, an git yer kin

Ta join oor own Society.
to join our own society
