Be you Cornish or stranyer
Don't matter 'tall to we;
For one an' all what come 'ere
We'me always glad to see.
And tho' our homestead's 'umble,
Yet warm hearts herein dwell;
There'll be no cause to grumble,
We'll surely, treat ee well.
We may not be quite stylish,
Nor up-to-date you knaw;
But what we ate is Cornish,
Made with substantial daugh.
For pasties, pelchrds, crame and all,
There's plenty to be 'ad;
So thoughts of dear old Cornwall
Should always make ee glad.
