Little boy,
Full of joy;
Little girl,
Sweet and small,
Cock does crow,
So do you;
Merry voice,
Infant noise;
Merrily, merrily to welcome in the year.
Little lamb,
Here I am;
Come and lick
My white neck;
Let me pull
Your soft wool;
Let me kiss
Your soft face;
Merrily, merrily to welcome in the year.
NORTHUMBERLAND
Rain, rain, go away,
And come again another day,
When I brew and when I bake,
I’ll gie you a little cake.
YARROW
If the evening’s red and the morning gray,
It is the sign of a bonnie day;
If the evening’s gray and the morning red,
The lamb and the ewe will go wet to bed.
