- The Bainy Wee Window
Oh, I once knew a lass, & her name it was Nell,
She lived in the house with her granny full well,
The house it was small, & the window was less,
It had but two panes, ay, & one wanted glass,
Cofra
'Twas a bainy wee window,
A nice little window,
The lovelied window, that ever you saw.Now it happened one n ight, Granny went to her bed
And Johnny the stoutest true _ love poor Nelly had,
Tript over the hills his true - love to see,
And right at the window, there planted was he.
Cofra
At the nice little wiondow etc.They were not long talking, not much they had said
Said Granny to Nellie, "Get into your bed!".
"Oh, I'm going, dear Grannie, "Said Nellie in pain,
"Fare-you-well, my dear John, Come the next night again,
Cofra
To the nice little window etc.(continues on next page)
