Do you mean the song that goes
    A poor old man was crossing the road
    Crossing the road, crossing the road
    A poor old man was crossing the road
    When along came a wheelbarrow.

    Don't let the wheels of your wheelbarrow,
    Your wheelbarrow, your wheelbarrow,
    Don't let the wheels of your wheelbarrow
    Run over the poor old man.

If so, you can find it on an album called "Iain Mackintosh: Live In Glasgow."

If you'd like me to transcribe it for you, e-mail me at rechal@earthlink.net.
