I'll away yhame

by Anonymous (English nursery rhymes) traditional; recorded 17th–19th century

From The Nursery Rhymes of England, collected by J. O. Halliwell (London: Warne; first ed. 1842; this printing 1886)

Nature

I'll away yhame,
And tell my dame,
That all my geese
Are gane but yane;
And it's a steg (gander),
And it's lost a leg;
And it'll be gane
By I get yhame.
