Wee Chookie
Wren
Wee chookie
wren, will ye bide awhile?
Na
sir, I canna be still for lang
Whit dae ye
bring tae the fowk aroon?
A
tale, the leaves o a buik, a sang
Wee chookie
wren, ye traivel licht
Hae ye steppt
frae a rainbow ooto the sun?
Blythness
cams in the smaest pyoke
The
shorter the veesit the mair the fun
Wee chookie
wren, is yer nest nearhaun?
A
gangrel birdie like me’s ay fleein
Fariver
the wins o the Grampians blaa
A
bird like me maun be up an daein!
