Thread Name: Lyr Req: Wee Hughie (Elizabeth Shane)
Subject: 'Wee Hughie's gone to school'
I'm in search of a traditional Irish ballad (well, song, anyway), the title of which I do not know. I know the opening verse, which is:

"Wee Hughie's gone to school, and him not four
Sure, I saw the fright was on him as he left the door
But he took the hand of Dinny and the hand of Dan
With Joe's aul' coat upon him, och, the poor wee man."

If anybody happens to know the rest of the lyrics to this song, I'd be greatly appreciative if you could post them! Thank you!
