[edit] Synopsis
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The narrator meets with a wee, wee man. He lifts an enormous stone and throws it, and she thinks that if she were as strong as Wallace, she could have lifted it to her knee. She asks him where he lives, and he has her come with him to a hall where there is a lady, sometimes explicitly called the fairy queen, and her ladies, usually twenty-four and so beautiful that the ugliest would make a fit queen of Scotland, but they, and the wee, wee man, instantly vanish.
Spoilers end here.
[edit] Versions
Steeleye Span included it in the 1972 album A Parcel of Rogues.
