My Old Man

My old man said ‘Follow the Van’,

And don’t dilly dally, on the way,

Off went the cart with the home packed in it,

I walked behind with my old Cock Linnet.

I dillied and dallied, dallied and dillied,

Lost the can, and don’t know where to roam.

I stopped on the way to have the old halt Quartem,

And I can’t find my way home!
