Would that by any chance be the children's rhyme about a witch (cailleach, an old woman, not coileach, a cock) - in Irish it's

An Chailleach

An bhfaca tu an chailleach?
Chonaic mise í,
Lena srón mór fada,
Is a fiacla gránna buí.
Hubail rubail bubail,
Hubail rubail bubail.

An bhfaca tu an chailleach?
Chonaic mise í,
Lena cat mór fada,
Ar an scuab ina suí,
Hubail rubail bubail,
Hubail rubail bubail
