Rhymes of Northern Bards

Up the Raw

Up the raw, ma bonny hinny,
 Up the raw, lass, every day;
For shape and colour, ma bonny hinny,
 Thou bangs thy mother, ma canny bairn.

Up the raw, ma bonny hinny,
 Thou BANGS THEM A’, lass every day;
Thou’s a’ clagcanded, ma bonny hinny,
 Thou’s double japanded, ma canny bairn.

For hide and hue, ma bonny hinny,
 Thou bangs the crew, my canny bairn;
Up the raw, ma bonny hinny,
 Thou bangs them a’, lass, ma canny bairn.
