The Wee Wee Man

Twas down by Carterhaugh Father

Between the water and the wall

There i met with a wee wee man

And he was the least that ever I saw

His legs were scarce a finger's length

And thick and nimble was his knee

Between his eyes a flee could go

Between his shoulders were inches three

His beard was long and white as as swan

His robe was neither green nor grey

He clapped his hands, down came the mist

And he sank and he's fainted clean away

He pulled up a stone six feet in height

And flung it farther than I could see

And though I'd been a giant born

I'd never had lifted it to my knee

O Wee Wee Man but thou are strong

Come tell me where thy dwelling be

I dwell beneath a bonny green bower

O will ye come with me and see?

His beard was long and white as as swan

His robe was neither green nor grey

He clapped his hands, down came the mist

And he sank and he's fainted clean away

He pulled up a stone six feet in height

And flung it farther than I could see

And though I'd been a giant born

I'd never had lifted it to my knee

We rode on and we sped on

Until we came to a bonny green hall

The roof was made of the beaten gold

And purest crystal was the floor

There were pipers playing on every stair

And ladies dancing in glistering green

He clapped his hands, down came the mist

And the man and the hall no more were seen

His beard was long and white as as swan

His robe was neither green nor grey

He clapped his hands, down came the mist

And he sank and he's fainted clean away

He pulled up a stone six feet in height

And flung it farther than I could see

And though I'd been a giant born

I'd never had lifted it to my knee
