"North Country " lullabys


The sheep's in the meadow,
  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.

          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 lairn.

          Canny at night,
          Bonny at morn,
          (Thou's ower lang in thy bed)
          Bonny at morn.

            ***********

Ca' HawKie,ca' Hawkie,
Ca' Hawkie through the watter,
Hawkie is a sweir beast,
And Hawkie winna wade the watter.

What a "sweir beast" is I do not know?!   I guess the "Lambton Worm" would show  North East dialect better but I don't know it well enough.

Good grief!
I remember saying goodnight to a 'tottie' in Winnepeg in the sixties with next day plans.
"I'll knock you up in the morning"
Got a black eye for it!
