Version U

Narrative

1   'Whare were ye the lea lang day,
      My wee crooding doo, doo?'
'I hae been at my step-dame's;
      Mammy, mak my bed noo, noo!'
2   'Whare gat she the wee, wee fish?'
      My wee crooding doo, doo?'
'She gat it neist the edder-flowe.'
      Mammy, mak my bed noo, noo!'
3   'What did she wi the fishie's banes?'
      My wee crooding doo, doo?'
'The wee black dog gat them to eat.'
      Mammy, mak my bed noo, noo!'
4   'What did the wee black doggie then?'
      My wee crooding doo, doo?'
'He shot out his fittie an deed;
      An sae maun I now too, too.'
