# Wee Willie Gray

## Song
Wee Willie Gray, and his leather wallet,  
Peel a willow wand to be him boots and jacket;  
The rose upon the breir will be him trews an’ doublet,  
The rose upon the breir will be him trews an’ doublet,  
Wee Willie Gray, and his leather wallet,  
Twice a lily-flower will be him sark and cravat;  
Feathers of a flee wad feather up his bonnet,  
Feathers of a flee wad feather up his bonnet.
