Wee Little Man

This is a call and response song that I used to sing with my son when he was four. Now that he is all grown up it’s not as cute to perform together so I sing the whole thing myself. He was the wee little man, and I was the sailor man.

Wee Little Man

[1] Sailor man where have you been I’ve been sailing on the seven seas Wee little man Why do you ask I thought you might never come back Wee little man Hush your tongue Go to sleep Wee little one

[2] Sailor man what did you bring Home from sailing on the seven seas Hold this shell Against your ear Wee little man what do you hear Sailor man I hear the sea Wee little man Go to sleep

[3] Sailor man Why did you go Sailing on the sea so far from home Wee little man Why do you ask I thought you might never come back Wee little man Hush your tongue Go to sleep Wee little one

Wee little man My little son Go to sleep Wee little one
