Hush, hush, time to be sleepin'
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creepin'
Dreams of peace and of freedom
So smile in your sleep, bonny baby
Once, our valleys were ringin'
With sounds of our children singin'
But now, sheep bleat 'til the evenin'
And shielings lied empty and broken
Hush, hush, time to be sleepin'
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creepin'
Dreams of peace and of freedom
So smile in your sleep, bonny baby
Oh, we stood with heads bowed in prayer
While Factors burnt our cottages bare
The flames licked the clear mountain air
And many were dead by the mornin'
Hush, hush, time to be sleepin'
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creepin'
Dreams of peace and of freedom
So smile in your sleep, bonny baby
Where was our fears Highland mettle?
Our men, once so fearless in battle
Now stand, cowed, huddled like cattle
And wait to be shipped o'er the ocean
Hush, hush, time to be sleepin'
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creepin'
Dreams of peace and of freedom
So smile in your sleep, bonny baby
No use in cryin' or bleedin'
Gone, gone, all hopes of stayin'
So hush, hush, the anchor's a-weighin'
Don't cry in your sleep, bonny baby
Hush, hush, time to be sleepin'
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creepin'
Dreams of peace and of freedom
So smile in your sleep, bonny baby
