Hi Jinks,I don't have the words but I would be interested in having them if you manage to get them. I remember my mother used to recite this when I was a child but I haven't heard it since. I don't think it was Burns I always thought it was a Newcastle (Geordie)England resitation as most of my mothers ditties were Geordie Verse but possibly that was because she always spoke with a Geordie accent. Cheers Bill
