That night when 'ope back in me brisket lobs:
'Ow my Doreen she lays 'er little 'ead Down on me shoulder 'ere, an' sobs an' sobs; An' orl the lights goes sorter blurred an' red. Say, square an' all--It don't seem right, some'ow, To say such things; but wot I'm feelin' now 'As come at times, I s'pose, to uvver men When you 'ave 'ad a reel ole ding-dong row, Say, ain't it bonzer makin' up agen? Straight wire, it's almost worth...Ar, I'm a cow! To think I'd ever seek to 'arm a 'air Of 'er dear 'ead agen! My oath, I swear No more I'll roust on 'er in angry 'eat! But still, she never seemed to me so fair; She never wus so tender or so sweet As when she smooged beneath the lamplight there. She's never been so lovin' wiv 'er gaze; So gentle wiv 'er pretty wimmin's ways. I tells 'er she's me queen, me angel, too. "Ah, no, I ain't no angel, Kid," she says. "I'm jist a woman, an' I loves yeh true! An' so I'll love yeh all me mortal days!" She sung a song....'Ere, in me barmy style, I sets orl tarts; for in me hour o' trile Me soul was withered be a woman's frown, An' broodin' care come roostin' on me dile. |
