Awd T'Owd Tinky
(by Old Blowick)

Ah've 'eard it roomad un t'Gessbuke
Theer's a strehnga arrihved un eawr shaws --
A mucka 'oo cawls 'issell Tinky
Frum Glossop (thass Darby, tha knaws!).

Ah welcum thi gradely, yung fella,
'N' 'awps tharras t'reet gud tihme
A-visitin' t'lasses frum t'Gessbuke
'N' Ah thowt as Ah'd wreet this 'ere rihme.

Nobbut t'cuppul o' lihnes uv daft pawtry
T' set t'lad streht un sum things.
Ah doan't want 'im sehyin' t'wrung werds
Wen 'e's shiftin' 'is pihnts at t'Pings,

Noeauw theer's things tha mihte seh back in Glossop
That mean summat else awva 'ere:
Doan't offa t' knock oop tha 'awstess
Aw 'appun thall get t'thick ear!

Doan't ast furra rubba -- seh "erehsa" --
Aw tha'll 'ave awl yon lasses in fits;
'N' wen tellin' 'em awl 'baht Owd Englund
Doan't gaw un 'n' un 'baht t'Blitz!

(T'fawks at th'Immygrehshun tawld me
Wen Ah cum 'ere lung agaw:
""Tha con tell 'em baht socka 'n' cricket
But theh doan't wanna 'ear 'baht t'waw!")

Tha'll see sum grehte sihtes, lad, tha will that,
As tha flihes aw travels t'rehles;
Bu' tha'll no' see naw luvlier pickcha
As tha's left in yon Darbysheer dehles!

Saw 'ave thissen a gud tihme, lad,
Enjoy awl that Canader shaws;
Tha's cum a lung weh fer t' see it,
(Tha's got t'camera wi' thi Ah sappawse?)

Saw theer's th'end t' me pawm,
('N' sum mihte seh ""Give it t'rest!""), 
'N' thaw Ah probbly woan't see thi,
Ah still wish thi, lad, awl t'best!
