Not my work, but fragments of childhood rhymes my granny used to recite/sing to us. I can't find reference to them anywhere, is anyone else familiar with them? ( 1) Whae’s at the windae wa? Whae’s at the windae wa? Well, ‘twas auntie Jeanie, Wae a basket oan her back, Comin’ tae tak ye awa wa wa. Whaur will she tak ye tae? Whaur will she tak ye tae? Well she’ll tak ye tae yer grannie’s hoose, An’ gie ye pieces an’ tea, tea, tea. (2) Man oh man that makes yer haunds, Sae big fer catchin’ !! Naebody’s comin’ but the green grass is growin’ an the cauld water’s runnin’ (3) Ali Bali, Ali Bali bee Sittin’ oan ‘es mammie’s knee Waitin’ fer a wee bobee Tae buy some coulter’s candy.
