Yeow mussent sing a' Sunday, Becaze it is a sin, But yeow may sing a' Monday Till Sunday cums agin.

A sunshiny shower, Won't last half an hour.

As the days grow longer, The storms grow stronger.

As the days lengthen, So the storms strengthen.

He that goes to see his wheat in May, Comes weeping away.

The mackerel's cry, Is never long dry.

In July, Some reap rye; In August, If one will not the other must.
