Translation. Where have you been since I last saw you, last saw you? On Ilkley Moor without a hat Where have you been since I last saw you, last saw you? Where have you been since I last saw you? On Ilkley Moor without a hat On Ilkley Moor without a hat On Ilkley Moor without a hat You have been courting Mary Jane You are bound to catch your death of cold Then we will have to bury you Then the worms will come and eat you up Then the ducks will come and eat up the worms Then we will go and eat up the ducks Then we will have eaten you That's where we get our own back.
