Hush Hush |
Hush, hush, time tae be sleepin'. |
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creepin'; |
Dreams of peace and of freedom, |
So smile in your sleep, bonny baby. |
Once, our valleys were ringin' |
with sounds of our children singin', |
but now, sheep bleat 'til the evenin' |
and shielings stand empty and broken. |
Hush, hush, time tae be sleepin'. |
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creepin'; |
Dreams of peace and of freedom, |
So smile in your sleep, bonny baby. |
Where stands our proud Highland mettle? |
Our men, once sae feared in battle |
now stand, cowed, huddled like cattle, |
and soon tae be shipped o’er the ocean. |
Oh, we stood with our heads bowed in prayer |
while Factors laid our cottages bare. |
The flames fired the clear mountain air, |
and many were dead in the mornin'. |
Hush, hush, time tae be sleepin'. |
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creepin'; |
Dreams of peace and of freedom, |
So smile in your sleep, bonny baby. |
Nae use greetin' or prayin' now. |
Gone. |
Gone, all hopes of stayin', |
sae hush, now. |
The anchor’s a-weighin'. |
Don’t cry in your sleep, bonny baby. |
Hush, hush, time tae be sleepin'. |
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creepin'; |
Dreams of peace and of freedom, |
So smile in your sleep, bonny baby. |
