   There is a market twice a week
   Our town for to supply sir
   With plenty of mutton bacon and beef
   And barley, oats and rye, sir.
   With slips and sows and new milch cows,
   With them the
   While pike and sole eel and trout
   Roll in the Barrow water

   A building dock convenient lay
   For boats upon the Barrow,
   But there's nothing building there today
   But the water-hen and sparrow
   That ancient spot well nigh forgot
   It used to aggravate us
   And now 'tis quite the Isle of Wight
   All roses and potatoes

   There is a club for all who love
   Devarsion and delight Sir
   Both great and small can play hand-ball
   And billiards every night sir
   And if some boys dont care for noise
   There's other recreation
   We've papers there from everywhere
   With the height of information
