Hush-a-Ba Birdie

Lyrics

(Scottish folk song)

1. Hush-a-ba birdie, croon, croon,
Hush-a-ba birdie, croon.
The sheep are gone to the silver wood
And the cows are gone to the broom, broom.

2. Braw it is, milking the kye, key (cow),
Braw it is, milking the kye.
The birds are singing, the bells are ringing
And the wild deer come galloping by, by.

3. Hush-a-ba birdie, croon, croon,
Hush-a-ba birdie, croon.
The goats are gone to the mountains high
And they’ll not be home until noon, noon.
