Help identify doric song

Can anyone supply more words for this song:

"Fan I was a wee wee pern taed ladie
they ca'ed me pern taed Jockie.
Ae day I was sittin' on my grannie's winda' sill
eatin' sweaties oot o' a broon paper pyokie.

Along came a lass and I asked her for a kiss
I said I wisna' jokin'.
She up wi' her hand and she slapped me on the face.
I wished I hidna' spoken.

..."


It would have been known in NE Scotland in the middle of the 20th century.

Thanks for reading. Hope someone can help.

A quick google of "Ae day I was sittin' on my grannie's winda' sill" led me to this page FifeSing5: Old Songs & Bothy Ballads: Grand To Be a Working Man

Scroll to no 7.

Thanks for that: obviously this must be the original.

My memory could be of family word play and variations.
