The Wee Wee Man
Anonymous
As I was walking all alone
Between a Water and a Wa'
And there I spyed a wee wee man
And he was the least that
ere I saw.
His Leggs were scarce a Shathmont's length
And thick and thimber was his
thigh,
Between his Brows there was a Span
And between his Shoulders
there was three.
He took up a meikie Stane
And he flang 't as far as
I could see;
Tho I had been a Wallace wight
I couldna liften 't to my
knee.
O wee wee man but thou be strong,
O tell me whare thy dwelling
be;
My dwelling down at yon bonny Bower
O will you go with me
and see.
On we lap and awa we rade
Till we came to yon bonny
Green;
We lighted down for to bait our horse
And out there came a Lady
fine.
Four and twenty at her Back
And they were a' clad out
in Green;
Tho the king of Scotland had been there
The warst o' them might hae
been his Queen.
On we lap and awa we rade
Till we cam to yon bonny
ha'
Whare the roof was o' the beaten gould
And the floor was o' the
Cristal a'.
When we came to the Stair foot
Ladies were dancing jimp
and sma,
But in the twinkling of an Eye
My wee wee man was clean
awa.
