Wee Hughie
He's gone to school wee Hughie
and him not four
Sure I saw the fright was in him
when he left the door.

But he took the hand of Dinny
An' a han' of Dan,
Wi' Joe's ould coat upon him -
Och the poor wee man!

He cut the quarest figure,
More stout nor thin,
An' trottin' right an' steady,
Wi' his toes turned in,

I watched him to the corner
of the big Kirk's dark,
An' the more his feet went forrit'
Still his head turned back.

He was lookin', would I call him,
Och, me heart was woe
Sure its lost I am without him
But he need to go.

I followed to the turnin'
when he passed it by
God help him he was crying
And maybe so was I.

Above are the words as I know them when I perform the song at my Magic Lantern shows.
I learnt it from a recording by Kenneth McKellar recording of the songs of JohnMcCormack
