Can Ye Sew Cushions?
Melody - Seq. by Barry TaylorOh, can ye sew cushions
And can ye sew sheets?
And can ye sing baluloo
When the bairn greets?
Chorus
And hie and baw birdie,
And hie and baw lamb
And hie and baw birdie,
My bonnie wee lamb.
2. I biggit the cradle
All on the tree top
And the wind it did blaw,
And the cradle did rock.
Chorus
3. Now hush-a-ba, lammie,
And hush-a-ba, dear
Now hush-a-ba, lammie,
Thy minnie is here.
Chorus
4. The wild wind is ravin',
Thy minnie heart's sair
The wild wind is ravin',
And you dinna care.
Chorus
5. Sing ba-la-loo, lammie,
Sing ba-la-loo, dear
Does the wee lammie ken
That his daddy's no' here?
Chorus
6. Ye're rockin fu' sweetly
Upon my warm knee
But your daddy's a-rockin'
Upon the salt sea.
Chorus
