There was a wee bit wifie,

There was a wee bit wifie,
Who lived in a shoe;
She had so many bairns,
She kenned na what to do.
She gaed to the market
To buy a sheep-head;
When she came back
They were a' lying dead.
She went to the wright
To get them a coffin;
When she came back
They were a' lying laughing.
She gaed up the stair,
To ring the bell;
The bell rope broke,
And down she fell.
