WHERE hae ye been a' the day, My bonny wee croodin doo? O I hae been at my stepmother's house; Make my bed, mammie, now, now, now! Make my bed, mammie, now! Where did ye get your dinner, My bonny wee croodin doo? I got it in my stepmother's; Make my bed, mammie, now, now, now! Make my bed, mammie, now! What did she gie ye to your dinner, My bonny wee croodin doo? She ga'e me a little four-footed fish; Make my bed, mammie, now, now, now! Make my bed, mammie, now! Where got she the four-footed fish, My bonny wee croodin doo? She got it down in yon well strand; O make my bed, mammie, now, now, now! Make my bed, mammie, now! What did she do wi' the banes o't, My bonny wee croodin doo? She ga'e them to the little dog; Make my bed, mammie, now, now, now! Make my bed, mammie, now! O what became o' the little dog, My bonny wee croodin doo? O it shot out its feet and died! O make my bed mammie, now, now, now! Make my bed, mammie, now! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NOTHING WILL CURE THE SICK LION BUT TO EAT AN APE' by MARIANNE MOORE SONNET: AUTUMN by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE SUPPLIANTS: THE WORLD'S HARMONIOUS PLAN by AESCHYLUS TRAVELLING GIPSIES by CHARLES BAUDELAIRE KING PHILIP'S MEN by AUDREY ALEXANDRA BROWN LOVE POEMS: 5 by WILLIAM BROWNE (1591-1643) THE SALLE MONTESQUIEU; A PARISIAN REMINISCENCE by WILLIAM ALLEN BUTLER |
