                                    96When the old witch came up, she looked about and said to the co'Cow of mine, cow of mine,Have you seen a girlWith a willy-willy wag, and a long-tailed bag,Who's stole my money, all I had?'And the cow said, 'No, mother, not for seven year.'When the witch had gone off another way, the little girl went on again, and when she was near the oven she heard the witch coming after her again, so she ran to the oven and cried:'Oven, oven, hide me,So the old witch can't find me;If she does she'll pick my bones,And bury me under the marble stones.'And the oven said, 'I've no room, ask the baker,' and the baker hid her behind the oven.When the witch came up she looked here and there and everywhere, and then said to the baker:'Man of mine, man of mine,Have you seen a girl,With a willy-willy wag, and a long-tailed bag,Who's stole my money, all I had?'So the baker said, 'Look in the oven.' The old witch went to look, and the oven said, 'Get in and look in the furthest corner.' The witch did so, and when she was inside the oven shut her door, and She hides behind the cow.
