'Wee Willie Winkie'' is a well known Scottish nursery rhyme which has been sung to Scottish children from the 1840's to the present day. It tells the story of a wee boy running through the dark streets in his night gown, visiting all of the houses to tell the children to go to bed and get to sleep. This fun and simple setting employs the Scottish folk song ''Coulter's Candy'' and ''Three Blind Mice'' in the chorus.
