Fairy song dilemma

Westiegran, I remembered the verse, but I don't ever remember hearing it sung.

I think I read it in an old children's book, meaning one that had belong to my father or his sister when I was a child, so I suspect you need to ask someone who had older sisters born in the 1920s,

Hope someone remembers the tune for you.

It reminds me of this lovely poem

Thanks for the "NObody loves a fairy when she's forty" it brought back memories. Tessie O'Shea was so talented. Such a pity she is forgotten.

Ooh, I had a beautiful book, with lovely illustrations, and 'A fairy went a-marketing' was one of my favourites.
I liked her kissing the mouse's silken ears, thanking it and letting it go.

This has got fairies and gossamer. I don’t think it’s the same poem, though.

No, never heard of that one Westie so can’t help.
The only fairy one I know is:
Up the airy mountain,
Down the ferny glen,
We dare not go a hunting
For fear of little men.

I learnt this song at school when I was 4 in 1965.It came to me and I sang it for my daughter today and remembered the whole thing straight off! She said I should look it up, and this is the only place I have found reference to it!

???
Just a tad inappropriate but I had great fun listening to it ?
Thank you very much for the laugh you gave me.
I think that song might stick in my mind for the rest of the day annsixty. ?

Tone tone!!!

I can't with that I'm sorry to say.
Is it inappropriate to teach her, "Nobody loves a fairy when she's forty"?
Have I lowered the time somewhat?

I hope you get a sensible answer.?
