Lyrics:
An earthly nurse sits and sings,
And aye she sings a lily wean -
"Little ken I my bairn's father,
Far less the land that he dwells in."
For he's
Wi' nae wee bairn ye'll me beget Untwinkle, little ee
My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee
But ill turn into a nightengale and song
Ally bally bally bally bee
Sittin' on yer mammy's knee
Greetin' for a wee bawbee
Tae buy some Coulter's candy
Poor wee bairn yer lookin' awfy
bonnie bairns as well
That's the toast for Mhairi
Every day and all night
You're trying to tell me you're all right
Every day and all night
You're trying
to the curlew cryin'
Faintly the echos dyin'
Even the birdies and the beasties are sleepin'
But my bonny bairn is weepin' weepin'
Baloo baleery,
Baloo baleery,
Baloo baleery,
Baloo balee
Gang awa perrie fairies
Gang awa perrie fairies
Gang awa perrie fairies
Frae oor bairn
to you is born ane child
Of Marie meik and Virgin mild
That bliss it bairn bening and kind
Sall you rejoice baith hart and mind.
Lat us rejoyis
Plenty peat to fill her kreel
Plenty bonnie bairns as well
That's the toast for Marie
Step we gaily on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm
can see you
I have seen these bairns wave their fists at God
Swear to destroy the beasts, stamping the ground
In their excitement for tomorrow
I
Baloo balilli, baloo balilli,
Baloo balilli, baloo baa
Gae awa, peerie fairies,
Gae awa, peerie fairies,
Gae awa, peerie fairies,
Fae wir bairn noo.
to you is born ane child
Of Marie meik and Virgin mild
That bliss it bairn bening and kind
Sall you rejoice baith hart and mind.
Lat us rejoyis
to you is born ane child
Of Marie meik and Virgin mild
That bliss it bairn bening and kind
Sall you rejoyce baith hart and mind.
Lat us rejoyis
There sits a maid on Norway's strand
Hush bye-lou-lay," this maid began
Saying, "Little ken I my bairn's father
Far less the land that he dwells in"
Can ye no hush yer weeping, a' the wee bairns are sleeping
Birdies are nestling, nestling together, dream Angus is hurtling o'er the heather
Dreams
and through the years
while you're bringing up the bairns
your man's awa' tae here and there
followin' the shoals of herring
and when he's back there's nets
to thy beauty
And a bairn of thy hills
Oh how my eye
Yearns to behold
The wonders afar
Waiting to be told
But I hear my sweet lass
Call in my soul
Haste
bairns as weel that's our toast to Mairi
Step we gaily on we go heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm and row on row all for Mairi's wedding
She laughs, she cries
She draws her bonnie bairn within her eyes
She's peace, she's grace
She's a' for him, who stares into her face
He sleeps, he
I hae nae bairn to gie his bairn my name:
Faither and mither and nae fere I claim:
Dead to the dead I am:
Dead to the dead I am
Like ilka man I am
mair liltin', at the ewe milkin',
Women and bairns are dowie and wae.
Sighin' and moanin' on ilka green loanin',
The flowers of the forest are all
stand
We'll fight for a land
And I swear that my bairns
Will be born free
And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I'll take what I
I heard a mother lull her bairn
And aye she rocked, and aye she sang
She took so hard upon the verse
That the heart within her body rang
O, cradle
cup
The kimmer clash and caudle, O,
The waning moon the wanton loon
The cutty stool and cradle, O.
Douce dames wha hae their bairn-time borne
Sae
stand
We'll fight for a land
And I swear that my bairns
Will be born free
And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I'll take what I
