Who will watch the home place
Who will tend my own dear space
Anwd who will fill my empty space
When I am gone from here.
that's the chorus- I think by Allison Krause. Sweet song.

A bonnie wee lassie whose name it was Nell
Lived in the house where her grandmother dwell.
The house it was small and the windows no less
Each having four panes, ones needed a glass.
CHO That nice little window, that sweet little window,
    That nice little window where grandmother dwell.

That's from Burl Ives singing, obviously from the fifties. The title is Bonnie Wee Lassie. The story is about the amorous young man who gets his head stuck in the window. Burl Ives Columbia Records CL6058.
