But if the cully nap us, [3]
And the lurries from us take, [4] O then {they rub}{he rubs} us to the whitt [5] {And it is hardly }{Though we are not} worth a make [6] II {But}{And} when we come to the whitt Our darbies to behold, [7] And for to (take our penitency)(do out penance there) {And}{We} boose the water cold. [8] But when that we come out agen [And the merry hick we meet] [9] We (bite the Cully of; file off with) his cole [10] As (we walk; he pikes) along the street. III [And when that we have fil'd him [11] Perhaps of half a job; [12] Then every man to the boozin ken [13] O there to fence his hog; [14] But if the cully nap us, And once again we get Into the cramping rings], [15] (But we are rubbed into; To scoure them in) the whitt.
