Subject: RE: Lyr Req: You Can Come and See the Baby
This song was very well known and sung in my Scottish family. This is what I remember of it.

Oh the wife and I felt very very lonely for a while
Sitting in the kitchen by ourselves
Then one day after tea the wife she told to me a secret that I couldnay keep myself.
So since two o'clock this morning I've been running round the street
The neighbours must have thought there was a fire
The policeman was laughing as I went running by for at my side was Dr. McIntyre.

You can come and see the baby any day you care to call
He's lying by his mammy in a wee white shawl
He looks so neat and swanky like a dumplin in a hanky and we're going to call him William Angus Jimmieson Jock McCall.

Dimmeradoo my daddy-o dimmerado my daddy-a
We've got a baby in the hoose and I am the Daddy-O
