Scottish nursery rhyme, commonly known as Wee Willie Winkie. William Miller's version is the oldest extant version, first published in Whistle-binkie: Stories for the Fireside (1841). Miller appears to have popularised a pre-existing nursery rhyme, adding additional verses to make up a five stanza poem. An anonymous English adaptation was published in Nursery Rhymes, Tales, and Jingles (1844)
