BA WEE BIRDIE

Ba, wee birdie, birdie;
Ba, wee birdie, croon;
The ewes are awa to the siller parks,
The kye's amang the broom;
The wee bits o' yowes to the heathery knowes,
They'll no be back till noon;
If they dinna get something ere they gang out,
Their wee pipes will be toom.

DT Lyrics:

In Mudcat MIDIs:
Hush-a-ba Birdie Croon (Text apparantly from Chambers, Popular Rhymes of Scotland (1870) where I think no tune was given. A close variant in Alfred Moffat's Fifty Traditional Scottish Nursery Rhymes (1933) is cited; midi made from notation in that book. )
