The Fidgety Bairn

Hush, my dear! the gallopin' men

Ride thro' the bracken and ride owre the ben;

Mammy'll watch her sleepin' hen,

So close your e'en my dearie!

Close your e'en and greet nae mair,

O but your mither's he'rt is sair,

Daddy's asleep in the big rockin' chair,

So close you e'en my dearie!

O will ye never learn?

Ne'er, ne'er was sic a bairn!

O, will ye never learn?

Ne'er, ne'er was sic a barin!

Breakin' my he'rt, ye fidgety, fidgety,

Breakin' my he'rt, ye fidgety bairn!

Breakin' my he'rt, ye fidgety, fidgety,

Breakin' my he'rt, ye fidgety bairn!
