A traditional tune from Northumberland about a baby who won't let his parents enjoy a good night's sleep. Cécile Gonay (aka Seesayle) as guest vocalist

lyrics

The sheep's in the meadows,
The kye's in the corn,
(Thou's ower lang in thy bed)
Bonny at morn
The sheep's in the meadows,
The kye's in the corn,
(Thou's ower lang in thy bed)
Bonny at morn
Canny at night,
Bonny at morn
(Thou's ower lang in thy bed)
Bonny at morn.

The bird's in the nest,
The trout's in the burn,
Thou hinders thy mother
In many a turn.
The bird's in the nest,
The trout's in the burn,
Thou hinders thy mother
In many a turn.
Canny at night,
Bonny at morn
(Thou's ower lang in thy bed)
Bonny at morn.

We're all laid idle
Wi' keeping the bairn
The lad winnot work
And the lass winnot learn,
We're all laid idle
Wi' keeping the bairn
The lad winnot work
And the lass winnot learn,
Canny at night,
Bonny at morn
(Thou's ower lang in thy bed)
Bonny at morn.
