Cannily Cannily

Cannily, cannily, bonny lal bairnikie
Divn’t you cry, my lal pet
Whisht at thy greeting
Your daddy is sleeping
Oh, it’s not time to waken him yet
Soon he’ll be gone to the shed for his engine
Soon he’ll be driving his train through the night
Working for pennies for you, my lal treasure
So had the noise, hinnie, your daddy sleeps light
When tha art grown tha shalt have tha own engine
The fastest that ever was seen on the line
And all of our neighbours shall point to my Johnnie
And know he’s the king of the North Eastern Line
Cannily, cannily, bonny lal bairnikie
Divn’t you cry, my lal pet
Whisht at thy greeting
Your daddy is sleeping
Oh, it’s not time to waken him yet
