Subject: RE: DTStudy: Cutty Wren
Joe Offer asked me to post this version from my CD, so here it is. Ironically the closest thing to what we sing was posted by Joe from Scots Songs. By the way, I have only heard this song so I have no idea how to spell any name. "Cosy", "mosy" and "nosy" rhyme with "rosy."Wally" is "wa lee."
Where are you going says cosy mosy?
Where are you going says Jack a thread nosy
Where are you going says brothers all three
I'm going to the woods says willy wally.
What do there?
Going hunting
What are you going to hunt?
Hunting robin redbreast
What are you going to hunt him with?
Bows and arrows
What are you going to cut him up with
knives and hatchets
What are you going to cook him in?
Pots and kettles
Who will help eat him?
My wife and children
Where you throw the bones
I'll throw them in the sea
They'll sink the ships
They'l sink in the sand
