Try here for a list: Stutter

This one was set by herbert Hughes:


A wee bit over the Lee, me lads
A wee bit over the green
The birds went into the poor man's corn
I fear they'll never be suh, suh, suh, suh, seen me lads
I fear they'll never be seen

Then out comes the bonny wee lass
And she was one so fair
And she went into the poor man's corn
To see if the birds were the, the, the, the, there, me lads
To see if the birds were there

Then out comes the bonny wee lad
And he was a fisherman's son
And he went into the poor man's corn,
To see if the lass were the, the, the, the, there, me lads
To see if the lass were there

He put his arm around her waist
And kissed her cheek and chin
Out spoke the bonny wee lass
I fear it is a se, se, se, se, sin, my lad
I fear it is a sin.

He kissed her once and he kissed her twice
He kissed her ten times o'er
O it's nice to be kissing that bonny wee lass
That's never been kissed befe, fe, fe, fe, fore, my lads
That's never been kissed before.

Then out comes the poor old man,
and he was tattered and torn,
If that's the way you're mindin' the birds,
I'll minding myself in the mo-mo-mo-mo-morn, me lads
I'll minding myself in the morn!"
