Recorded in 1988 for george martins production of dylan thomass play under milk wood. bonnie guested with a host of other welsh stars, including anthony hopkins and tom jones. lyrics taken from careful listening.



I loved a man whos name was tom

Hes strong as a bear and two yards long

I loved a man whos name was dick

He was big as a barrel and three feet thick

And I loved a man whos name was harry

Six feet tall and sweet as a cherry

But the one I love best, awake or asleep

Was little willie wee, and hes six feet deep



Oh tom, dick and harry were three fine men

And Ill never have such loving again

Little willie wee who took me on his knee

Little willie weasel was the man for me



Now men from every parish round

Run after me and roll me on the ground

But whenever I love another man back

Johnny from the hill, or sailing jack

I always think as they do what they please

Of tom, dick and harry who are tall as trees

But most I think when Im by their side

Of little willie wee who downed and died



Oh tom, dick and harry were three fine men

And Ill never have such loving again

Little willie wee who took me on his knee

Little willie weasel was the man for me

Little willie weasel was the man for me



(the following is a reprise featured later)



Now when farmers boys on the first fair day

Come down from the hills to drink and be gay

Before the sun sinks, I lie there in their arms

For theyre good bad boys from the lonely farms



And I always think as we tumble into bed

Of little willie wee, whos dead, dead, dead
