WEE TOTUM FOGG. The antiquarian Stenhouse identified this as a Scottish nursery-rhyme tune to which is sung:

Wee Totum Fogg
Sits upon a creepie;
Half an ell o' gray
Wad be his coat and breekie.

The melody appears earliest in print in Johnson’s Scots Musical Museum, (No. 514). The tune is in the triple-time old (single) hornpipe rhythm (i.e. 3/2).
