More steam to your taypot!
That your hand may Kill apig!That you may live long & die happy
And your 2 shin-bones may cut tobbaccy!Darling [?] your calico!
That you mightnt sin!
That you might be Sainted!
That you mightnt, whatever!
"Never despair while there's mate in the Shin of a wran"!
That it may run thro' you like a cuirlíun[?] thro' the country.
Never despair while there's mate in the shin of a wren!
That I may have you the day of the wren!
That the road may rise with you and strike you in the heels!
Fair weather after you and snow to your heels!
Good snooker to you!
Bad manners to you!
Bad cess to you! - Bad scram to you!
That I mightnt get good of you.
