A bonny wee lassie, whose name it was Nell,
Lived in a house with her grandmother dwell,
The house it was small and the windows no less,
Having four panes, one needed a glass,
That nice little window,        That cute little window,
Sweet little window,                 Where grandmother dwell(s).

Oh Johnnie, oh Johnnie, I think it amiss,
Before going away just to give me one kiss.
----"That I will Nellie," he answered her true.
To her surprise, he poked his head through
That hole in the window,        That nice little window,
That cute little window,         Where grandmother dwell(s).

He gave her three kisses and great was the smack,
To her surprise he couldn't get his head back
from.
That hole in the window,        That nice little window,
That cute little window,         Where grandmother dwell(s).

He ripped and he tore and he cursed and he swore
Granma heard the racket, jumped out on the floor,
She grabbed for the poker and a lick she gave one,
Another like that would have broke his backbone!
With his head in the window        That nice little window,
That cute little window,         Where grandmother dwell(s).

She lifted the ladle from out of the pot,
No batter ere' took the beating he got,
He ran down the road, with might and with main,
While around his shoulder the sash and the frame
Of that cute little window,        That sweet little window,
Nice little window,                        Where grandmother dwell(s).
