WEE SANDY WAUGH


I hae a wee bit Hielandman,
His name is Sandy Waugh;
He sits upon a puddock-stool,
An fine he sups his broth.


Sing hey, my bonny Hielandman,
My Sandy trig an braw;
Come prinkum prankum, dance wi me,
A cock-a-leerie-law.


There's herrin in the siller Forth,
An salmon in the Tay,
There's puffins on the auld Bass,
An bairns that greet a day.


Sing hey, my bonny Hielandman,
My Sandy trig an braw;
Come prinkum prankum, dance wi me,
A cock-a-leerie-law.

Montgomerie SNR (1946), 116 (no. 146); with music in Moffat
50 TSNR (1933),18. Prinkum prankum probably means "fine
attire", but could refer to a dance at least 300 years
old, otherwise called "The Cushion Dance", or "Joan
Sanderson". A puddock-stool is a toadstool, or
mushroom.
