Eight months ago and things is still the same, You're known about 'ere by your maiden name, I'm getting chivied by my pals 'cos why? Nightly I warbles 'ere for your reply. Summer 'as gone, and it's a freezin' now, Still love's a burnin' in my 'eart, I vow; Just as it did that 'appy night in May Down at the Welsh 'Arp, which is Endon way. Oh, 'Arriet, &c.
