Original text - English - And if you'd 'a took to me like a gull takes to...

Not sure about the first line. Perhaps to be corrected. Not native.

I know it´s strange, that´s why I need help. It´s the correct version of the text.

Hello,

This is the whole stanza:

[i]And if you'd 'a took to me like a gull takes to the wind
I'd a jumped from my tree and I'd a danced [/i]

The contemporary version would be:
"And if you had taken me like a gull takes to the wind
I would have jumped from my tree and I would have danced."

Thanks so much
