Hear all see all say nowt Eat all drink all pay nowt

'Ear all, see all, say nowt;
Eyt all, sup all, pay nowt;
And if ivver tha does owt fer nowt –
Allus do it fer thissen.[5]


Hear all, see all say nothing
Eat all, drink all pay nothing
And if you every do anything for nothing
always do it for yourself.
