Verse 1 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 fingers length And thick and nimble was his knee Between his eyes a flea could go Between his shoulders were inches three Chorus 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 hes fainted clean away Verse 2 He pulled up a stone six feet in height And flung it farther than I could see And though Id been a giant born Id 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? Chorus Verse 3 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 Chorus
