 Y dear Daddie bought a mansion
 * For to bring my Mammie to,

In a hat with a long feather,
 * And a trailing gown of blue;

And a company of fiddlers
 * And a rout of maids and men

Danced the clock round to the morning,
 * In a gay house-warming then.

And when all the guests were gone, and
 * All was still as still can be,

In from the dark ivy hopped a
 * Wee small bird: and that was Me.
