Thread Name: Origins: The Bonnie Wee Window / ...Lassie
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Bonnie Wee Window
I was asking the same question to fill in what I can't remember but what I do remember is:

A Bonnie Wee Lassie whose name it was Nell
Lived in a house where her grandmother dwell.
The house it was small with the windows no less,
having four panes one needed a glass,

That nice little window, that sweet little window, that cute little window
where grandmother dwell.

Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, I think it a miss
before goin' a way just give me one kiss.
That I will, Nellie, he answered her true.
To her surprise he poked his head through,

That nice little window, that sweet little window, that cute little window
where grandmother dwell.

He gave her three kisses
and great was the smack.
To his surprise he couldn't get his head back through

That nice little window, that sweet little window, that cute little window
where grandmother dwell.

Well, he ripped and he tore,
and he cussed and he swore.
Grandmother heard the racket
and jumped out on the floor.
She lifted the laddle from out of the pot.
Nobody ere took the beating he got,
with his head in the window,

That nice little window, that sweet little window, that cute little window
where grandmother dwell.

Well he ran down the road
with might and with pain (or main)
while around his shoulders the
sash and the frame from that

That nice little window, that sweet little window, that cute little window
where grandmother dwell.
