Bonny at morn - a northern lullaby ballad

Описание к видео Bonny at morn - a northern lullaby ballad

This is supposed to be a lullaby but difficult not to soar up in pitch and volume with this lovely pipe tune. Its origins are Northumbrian but I degraded the dialect words to general North Midlands idioms. Roud 3064; Sung in Exeter by Alan Rosevear.

The sheep’s in the meadow and the kye is in the corn,
Thou's ower lang in thy bed, bonny at morn.
(Repeated)
(Chorus after each verse):
Canny at neet, bonny at morn,
Thou's ower lang in thy bed, bonny at morn.

The bird in the bush and the trout in the burn,
Thou hinders thy mother at many's a turn.

We are all idle wi' keeping the bairn,
The lad willna’ work and the lass willna’ learn.
