Guest jonilog...Thanks for posting the song "baby in the hoose". My grandfather used to sit me on his knee and sing that song to me as a toddler....I remember feeling the most important wee boy in the world.. There is a spoken bit in the song ,and Ill try to remember. Spoken..."Aye Im his daddy right enough,and when hes auld enough Ill tak him on ma knee ,and sing the sang ma Granny sang tae me" Sings...."Puir wee thing, Im shair ye mon be cauld, Tak him on yer knee a wee , rowe him in yer shawl. Put him in his cradle, Hes gaun tae hushie baw, Bantams cocks tails cocken leeken,cocken leerie law.
The first verse of the song went, "The wife and I felt very very lonely for a while Sitting in the kitchen by oorsells, Till one day over tea the wife she told tae me a secret that a couldnae keep masell. And at three o clock this mornin, I was runnin doon the street, the neebours must have thoucht there was a fire. But every one was laughin loud , when I came back again, For bye ma side was Doctor McIntyre
