I remember my father dandling me with Katie Bairdie. He was from Stirling, born 1906.

Katie Beardie had a coo,
It was yellow, black and blue
Wasna that a dainty coo?
Dance, Katie Beardie!

Katie had a hen,
It would lay baith but an' ben
Wasna she a dainty hen?
Dance, Dolly Bairdie.

Katie Bairdie had a cock,
Black and white aboot the top
Wasna that a dainty cock,
Dance, Katie Bairdie.

Katie Bairdie's wooden leg
Kicked the bairns oot o' bed
A' the fleas ran up her leg
Dance, Katie Bairdie
