My Aunt Jane she brought me in she gave me tea out of her wee tin half a bap with sugar on the top 3 black lumps out of her wee shop that's the common version... there are other verses My aunt Jane has a bell on the door a white stone step and a clean swept floor Candy apples, hard green pears conversation lozenges My Aunt Jane, she's awful smart She bakes wee rings in apple tarts And when Hallowe'en come round Fornenst that tart I'm always found OK... translation bap = bread roll, could be sweetened more like a bun black lumps = rock cakes fornenst = close to we used to sing it while we were skipping, or swinging round the lamposts... thanks for the memories. slainte alison
