Hush-a-ba, birdie, croon, croon,
Hush-a-ba, birdie, croon.
The sheep are gone to mountain hie
There no be home until noon, noon
Braw it is milking the cow, cow
Braw it is milking the cow
The birds are singing, the bells are ringing
The wild deer go galloping by, by.
Hush-a-ba, birdie, croon, croon,
Hush-a-ba, birdie, croon.
The goats are gone to the mountain hie,
And they'll no be home till noon, noon.
Hush-a-ba, birdie, croon, croon,
Hush-a-ba, birdie, croon.
The sheep are gone to the silver wood,
The cows are gone to the broom, broom.
