|
I loved a man who's name was Tom
|
He's strong as a bear and two yards long
|
I loved a man who's name was Dick
|
he was big as a barrel and three feet thick
|
And I loved a man who's name was Harry
|
Six feet tall and sweet as a cherry
|
But the one I love best, awake or asleep
|
Was Little Willie Wee, and he's six feet deep
|
|
Oh Tom, Dick and Harry were three fine men
|
And I'll never have such loving again
|
Little Willie Wee who took me on his knee
|
Little Willie Weasel was the man for me
|
|
Now men from every parish 'round
|
Run after me and roll me on the ground
|
But whenever I love another man back
|
Johnny from the Hill, or Sailing Jack
|
I always think as they do what they please
|
Of Tom, Dick and Harry who are tall as trees
|
But most I think when I'm by their side
|
Of Little Willie Wee who downed and died
|
|
Oh Tom, Dick and Harry were three fine men
|
And I'll never have such loving again
|
Little Willie Wee who took me on his knee
|
Little Willie Weasel was the man for me
|
Little Willie Weasel was the man for me
|
|
(The following is a reprise featured later)
|
|
Now when farmers boys on the first fair day
|
Come down from the hills to drink and be gay
|
Before the sun sinks, I lie there in their arms
|
For they're good bad boys from the lonely farms
|
|
And I always think as we tumble into bed
|
Of Little Willie Wee, who's dead, dead, dead
|
