The Wee Wee Man

'TWAS down by Carterhaugh, father, I walked beside the wa, And there I saw a wee wee man, The least that eer I saw.
His legs were skant a shathmont lang, Yet umber was his thie; Between his brows there was ae span, And between his shoulders three.
He's taen and flung a meikle stane, As far as I could see; I could na, had I been Wallace wight, Hae lifted it to my knee.
'O wee wee man, but ye be strang! Where may thy dwelling be?' 'It's down beside yon bonny bower; Fair lady, come and see.'
On we lap, and away we rade, Down to a bonny green; We lighted down to bait our steed, And we saw the fairy queen.
With four and twenty at her back, Of ladies clad in green; Tho the King of Scotland had been there, The worst might hae been his queen.
On we lap, and away we rade, Down to a bonny ha; The roof was o the beaten goud, The floor was of chrystal a'.
And there were dancing on the floor, Fair ladies jimp and sma; But in the twinkling o an eye, They sainted clean awa.
