Testo Smile In Your Sleep

Hush, hush, time tae be sleepin Hush, hush, dreams come a-creepin Dreams o peace an o freedom Sae smile in your sleep, bonnie baby Once our valleys were ringin Wi sounds o our children singin But nou sheep bleat till the evenin An shielings stand empty an broken Hush, hush, time tae be sleepin Hush, hush, dreams come a-creepin Dreams o peace an o freedom Sae smile in your sleep, bonnie baby We stood, wi heads bowed in prayer While factors laid our cottages bare The flames fired the clear mountain air An many lay dead in the mornin Hush, hush, time tae be sleepin Hush, hush, dreams come a-creepin Dreams o peace an o freedom Sae smile in your sleep, bonnie baby Where was our fine Highland mettle, Our men once sae fearless in battle? They stand, cowed, huddled like cattle Soon tae be shipped owre the ocean Hush, hush, time tae be sleepin Hush, hush, dreams come a-creepin Dreams o peace an o freedom Sae smile in your sleep, bonnie baby No use pleading or praying All hope gone, no hope of staying Hush, hush, the anchor's a-weighing Don't cry in your sleep, bonnie baby Hush, hush, time tae be sleepin Hush, hush, dreams come a-creepin Dreams o peace an o freedom Sae smile in your sleep, bonnie baby
