Coorie in the Corner
Coorie in the corner, sittin a’ alane,
Whan the nicht wind’s chappin
On the winnock-pane:
Coorie in the corner, dinna greet ava;
It’s juist a wee bit goloch
Rinnin up the wa’.
William Soutar
Coorie in the corner, sittin a’ alane,
Whan the nicht wind’s chappin
On the winnock-pane:
Coorie in the corner, dinna greet ava;
It’s juist a wee bit goloch
Rinnin up the wa’.
