[Verse]
Am G
'Twas down by Carterhaugh Father
C G Em
Between the water and the wall
Am G
There I met with a wee, wee man
C G Em
And he was the least that ever I saw
[Verse]
Am G
His legs were scarce a finger's length
C G Em
And thick and nimble was his knee
Am G
Between his eyes a flee could go
C G Em
Between his shoulders inches three
[Chorus]
C F C G
His beard was long and white as a swan
C F C G
His robe was neither green nor grey
C F C G
He clapped his hands, down came the mist
Am G Em
And he sank and he's fainted clean away
[Instrumental]
Em C D Em
[Verse]
Am G
He's lifted up a stone, six feet in height
C G Em
And flung it farther than I could see
Am G
And though I'd been a giant born
C G Em
I'd never had lifted it to my knee
[Verse]
Am G
“Wee Wee Man, but thou art strong
C G Em
Tell me where thy dwelling be”
Am G
“It's down beneath yon bonny green bower
C G Em
Though you must come with me and see”
[Chorus]
C F C G
His beard was long and white as a swan
C F C G
His robe was neither green nor grey
C F C G
He clapped his hands, down came the mist
Am G Em
And he sank and he's fainted clean away
[Instrumental]
Em C D Em
[Verse]
Am G
We rode on and we sped on
C G Em
Until we came to a bonny green hall
Am G
The roof was made of the beaten gold
C G Em
And purest crystal was the floor
[Verse]
Am G
There were pipers playing on every stair
C G Em
And ladies dancing in glistering green
Am G
He clapped his hands, down came the mist
C G Em
And the man and the hall no more were seen
[Chorus]
C F C G
His beard was long and white as a swan
C F C G
His robe was neither green nor grey
C F C G
He clapped his hands, down came the mist
Am G Em
And he sank and he's fainted clean away
[Chorus]
C F C G
His beard was long and white as a swan
C F C G
His robe was neither green nor grey
C F C G
He clapped his hands, down came the mist
Am G Em
And he sank and he's fainted clean away
