Traditional Scottish Folk
Can Ye Sew Cushions?
[Intro]
(This is a song that is the first song that I've ever heard Ann sing
It's a lullaby from the British Isles
Called "Can Ye Sew Cushions?")
[Verse 1]
O can ye sew cushions? Can ye sew sheets?
Can ye sing ballooloo when the bairn greets?
Hee and baw, birdie, hee and baw, lamb
O hee and baw, birdie, my bonnie wee lamb
[Verse 2]
Sing ballooloo, lammie; ballooloo, dear
There's wee lammie ken that his Daddy's not here
You're rockin' so sweetly on Mammie's warm knee
While Daddy's a-rockin' upon the saut sea
[Verse 3]
O can ye sew cushions? Can ye sew sheets?
Can ye sing ballooloo when the bairn greets?
Hee and baw, birdie, hee and baw, lamb
O hee and baw, birdie, my bonniе wee lamb
