Lord Randal

" O whare hae ye been a' day, my bonnie wee croodlin dow?
O whare hae ye been a' day, my bonnie wee croodlin dow?"
" I 've been at my step-mother's; oh mak my bed, mammie, now!
I 've been at my step-mother's; oh mak my bed, mammie, now!"

" O what did ye get at your step-mother's, my bonnie wee croodlin dow?" [ Twice .]
" I gat a wee wee fishie; oh mak my bed, mammie, now!" [ Twice .]

" O whare gat she the wee fishie, my bonnie wee croodlin dow?"
" In a dub before the door; oh mak my bed, mammie, now!"

" What did ye wi the wee fishie, my bonnie wee croodlin dow?"
" I boild it in a wee pannie; oh mak my bed, mammy, now!"

" Wha gied ye the banes o the fishie till, my bonnie wee croodlin dow?"
" I gied them till a wee doggie; oh mak my bed, mammie, now!"

" O whare is the little wee doggie, my bonnie wee croodlin dow?
O whare is the little wee doggie, my bonnie wee croodlin doo?"
" It shot out its fit and died, and sae maun I do too;
Oh mak my bed, mammy, now, now, oh mak my bed, mammy, now!"
