Don't Cry in Your Sleep



CHORUS

Hush, hush, time to be sleeping

Hush, hush, dreams come a-creeping

Dreams of peace and of freedom

So smile in your sleep, bonny baby



Once our valleys were ringing

With songs of our children singing

But now sheep bleat till the evening

And shielings lie empty and broken



CHORUS



Where is our proud highland mettle

Our troops once so fierce in battle

Now stand, cowed, huddled like cattle

And wait to be shipped o'er the ocean

CHORUS



No use pleading or praying

For gone, gone is all hope of staying

Hush, hush, the anchor's a-weighing

Don't cry in your sleep, bonny baby



CHORUS
