• Hush Hush (Time to be sleeping)

Hush, hush, time to be sleeping,
Hush, hush, dreams come a creeping,
O dreams of peace and of freedom,
So smile in your sleep Bonnie Baby.
Once our valleys were ringing,
With sounds of our children singing,
But now sheep bleat till the evening,
And sheelings stand empty and open.
Chorus
We stood our heads bowed in prayer,
While factors burnt our homes with no care,
The flames licked the clear mountain air,
And many were dead by the morning.
Chorus
Where was our fierce highland mettle,
Our men once so fearless in battle,
Now stand cowed, huddled like cattle,
And wait to be shipped ower the ocean
Chorus.
No use pleading or praying
Now gone, gone, all hopes of staying,
So hush, hush, the anchor’s aweighing,
Don’t cry in your sleep Bonnie Baby.
Hush, hush, time to be sleeping,
Hush, hush, dreams come a creeping,
O dreams of peace and of freedom,
So smile in your sleep Bonnie Baby. x2
