The oldest text I have is from the 1961 reprint of the 1945 Mess Hall Songs & Rhymes of the Wartime RAAF:

Wee Hairie Bitty

There once was a lassie wi' a wee hairy bitty
Who was huddin' up her clovers at her ain father's ball.

And then there was a laddie wi' a big stormy cocky
Who was gang up the lassie wi' a wee hairy bitty
Who was huddin' up her clovers at her ain father's ball.

And then there was a mannie wi' a pair of speein' glasses
Who was speein' on the laddie wi' a big stormy cocky
Who was gang up the lassie wi' a wee hairy bitty
Who was huddin' up her clovers at her ain father's ball.

And then there was a mannie wi' a big curvy knifie
Who was gang to stab the mannie wi' a pair of speein' glasses
Who was speein' on the laddie wi' a big stormy cocky
Who was gang up the lassie wi' a wee hairy bitty
Who was huddin' up her clovers at her ain father's ball.

And then there was a p'licey wi' a piar of hand-cuffers who
Who was gang to cuff the mannie wi' a big curvy knifie
Who was gang to stab the mannie wi' a pair of speein' glasses
Who was speein' on the laddie wi' a big stormy cocky
Who was gang up the lassie wi' a wee hairy bitty
Who was huddin' up her clovers at her ain father's ball.
