The Scottish version in the DT has a slightly different tune (I was searching for a song of that name but found just the tune).


THERE WAS A WEE WIFIE

There was a wee wifie row't up in a blanket,
Nineteen times as hie as the moon;
And what she did there I canna declare,
For in her oxter she bure the sun.

"Wee wifie, wee wifie, wee wifie," quo' I,
"O what are ye doin' up there sae hie?"
"I'm blawin' the cauld cluds out o' the sky."
"Weel dune, weel dune, wee wifie!" quo' I.

No mention of Fife here, maybe the Wee Cooper of Fife and his wife have got mixed in.

DT says the tune is The Rock and the Wee Pickle Tow, but if you click the link above and want to hear it there is a blue "click to Play" link that doesn't work, and a picture of a loudspeaker + arrow that does (it puts a midi file on your computer which you then play)
