Steeleye Span recorded it as Four Loom Weaver - sorry I forget which album, but it's a bit easier to understand (more standard language). Also, you can see a print version in local dialect in Elizabeth Gaskell's novel Mary Barton. There it's referred to as Oldham Weaver.
is there any way to get a literal translation of this song?
