W:Verses:
W:Elsie Marley's grown so fine
W:She won't get up to serve the swine,
W:But lies in bed till eight or nine,
W:Di ye ken Elsie Marley, hinny?
W:
W:Elsie Marley is so neat,
W:It's hard for one to walk the street
W:But every lad and lass ye meet,
W:Cries "Di ye ken Elsie Marley, hinny?"
W:
W:Elsie Marley wore a straw hat
W:But now she's gotten a velvet cap,
W:The Lambton lads mun pay for that.
W:Di ye ken Elsie Marley, hinny?
