Ilkley Moor baht ‘at

Where has tha been since I saw thee, I saw thee?
On Ilkley Moor baht ‘at!
Where has tha been since I saw thee? (x2)

     On Ilkley Moor baht ‘at! (Where’s that?)
     On Ilkley Moor baht ‘at! (Up North!)
     On Ilkley Moor baht ‘at! (Where the ducks play football)

Tha’s been a courting’ Mary Jane…

Tha’s gonna catch thy death of cold…

Then we shall have to bury thee…

Then worms‘ll come and eat thee up…

Then ducks’ll come and eat up worms…

Then we shall come and eat up ducks…

Then we shall all have eaten thee…

The moral of the story goes… 

      Don’t go without a hat!
      Don’t go without a hat!
      Don’t go without a hat!
