Katie Bairdie

A Children's song from Scotland. My Grandmother used to sing this.

Katie Bairdie hid a coo',
Black and white aboot the moo'
Wisna that a dainty coo'?
Dance Katie Bairdie.

Katie Bairdie hid a cat,
She could catch baith moose and rat;
Wisna that a dainty cat?
Dance Katie Bairdie.

Katie Bairdie hid a hen,
She could lay baith but an' ben;
Wisna that a dainty hen?
Dance Katie Bairdie.

Katie Bairdie hid a wife,
She could use baith fork an' knife;
Wisna that a dainty wife?
Dance Katie Bairdie.

Katie Bairdie hid a bairn,
Widna play when it cam' on rain;
Wisna that a dainty bairn?
Dance Katie Bairdie.
