Smile In Your Sleep
Hush, hush, time to be sleeping
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creeping
Dreams o' peace and o' freedom
So smile in your sleep, bonny bairnie
Once our valleys were ringing
With sounds o' our children singing
But now sheep bleat 'till the evening
And shielings lie empty and broken
Hush, hush, time to be sleeping
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creeping
Dreams o' peace and o' freedom
So smile in your sleep, bonny bairnie
We stood, wi heads bowed in prayer
While factors laid our cottages bare
The flames fired the clear mountain air
An' many were dead in the morning
Hush, hush, time to be sleeping
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creeping
Dreams o' peace and o' freedom
So smile in your sleep, bonny bairnie
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
Hush, hush, time to be sleeping
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creeping
Dreams o' peace and o' freedom
So smile in your sleep, bonny bairnie
Hush, hush, time to be sleeping
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creeping
Dreams o' peace and o' freedom
So smile in your sleep, bonny bairnie
