Steeleye Span The Wee Wee Man Lyrics

Twas down by Carterhaugh Father
Between the water and the wall
There I met with a wee wee man
And he was the least that ever I saw

His legs were scarce a finger's length
And thick and nimble was his knee
Between his eyes a flea could go
Between his shoulders inches three

Chorus:
His beard was long and white as as swan
His robe was neither green nor grey
He clapped his hands, down came the mist
And he sank and he sainted clean away
He's lifted up a stone six feet in height
And flung it farther than I could see
And though I'd been a giant born I'd never had lifted it to my knee

Wee Wee Man but thou are strong
Come tell me where thy dwelling be
It's down beneath yon bonny green bower
You must come with me and see?

Chorus

We rode on and we sped on
Until we came to a bonny green hall
The roof was made of the beaten gold
And purest crystal was the floor

There were pipers playing on every stair
And ladies dancing in glistering green
He clapped his hands, down came the mist
And the man and the hall no more were seen

Chorus
