Chorus: Hush, hush, time to be sleeping Hush, hush, dreams come a-creeping Dreams of peace and of freedom So smile in your sleep, bonny baby Once our valleys were ringing With songs of our children singing But now sheep bleat till the evening And shielings lie empty and broken Chorus:

Where is our proud highland mettle Our troops once so fierce in battle Now stand, cowed, huddled like cattle And wait to be shipped o'er the ocean Chorus: No use pleading or praying For gone, gone is all hope of staying Hush, hush, the anchor's a-weighing Don't cry in your sleep, bonny baby
