W:And it's high to the top of the heather, W:and high to the but of the sprig, W:and high to the bonnie wee lassie W:who danced the swaggering jig. W: W:As I went to the fair of Bellaghy, W:I bought a wee slip of a pig, W:and being down by the poor house, W:I whistled the swaggering jig. W:And it's high to the cups and the saucers, W:and high to the butter and bread, W:and high to the bonnie wee lassie W:who danced the swaggering jig. W: W:I being down by the poor house, W:I whistled so loud and so shrill, W:I made all the fairies to tremble W:that lived around Corcoran's hill. W:And it's high to the top of the heather W:and high to the but of the sprig, W:and high to the bonnie wee lassie W:who danced the swaggering jig.
