   this way. Begob Lee was getting fed up of 'em as he gave Sutton a wink to shut them up.
   So begob Sutton stood up and said:

   "If "ifs" and "ands" were kettles and pans
   What merry thinkers we'd be
   For God's sake stand out and dont knock me about
   'Til I burn this lime for Lee."

   Sutton used often come in to my mother's house when she had the public house in Foulksmills. There was a verse too about it but I cant think of it

   Mrs White I think it right to give a pint to Joss
   - - - - - - - - and the brewry man from Ross.

   Another verse he used have was:

   Hickeys in the Hollow
   Mullins on the Hill
   Codds in Garryrichard
   And whites in Foulksmills
