Sum say tha devul’s deed, burrud en Foy arber.
Sum say ee live agaen, an prentus to a barber.

Sum say tha keng’s deed, an burrud en a sawser.
Sum say ees up agaen an goan ta be a grawser.
 

Old Cornwall 1928, page 8 has the following quote from a Mr. Pascoe who said he saw the reel danced in a farm house kitchen circa 1860, “But the best time of all wus when Mester Tervenen tooked down he’s ol’ fiddle from the shilf an’ ‘way we all scampered in a dree-handed reel, singin so well es dancin’ to the music, though the words es fullish.” Mr. Pascoe’s native tongue was obviously Dialect and not English so it is hard to believe that this song with ‘fullish’ words was sung good standard English.
