CRICKETTY WEE "Where are you goin'?" says Arty Art, "Where are you goin'?" says Dandrum Dart "Where are you goin'?" says Brothers-In-Three "I'm goin' to the fair." says Crickety Wee. "What will you do there?" I'll buy a wee pony." "But what will you do with it?" "It's for my wife to ride on." "When will ye get married?" "The day before the morrow." "Will there be any drink?" "A glass and a half." "It'll not be all drunk." "I could drink it myself." "What'll you have to eat?" "A loaf and a half." "It'll not get all ate." "I'll put it under my hat." "The mice will get at it." "I'll keep a good cat." Will ye have any children?" "Two, and two cripples." "I doubt they'll not work." "They'll work for death." From Songs of the People, Henry note: an obvious version of Cutty Wren, but without the wren.
