Its Muther's Cum
Teun--"When the Kye cums Hyem."
Wor Geordy got the bairn te keep,
The time his wife wes oot,
But till the pet wes fast asleep,
He sair wes put aboot;
Before his wife wes oot the hoose
He wisht her back agyen,
At last te Geordy's greet releef,
She landid safely hyem.
Korus
Sleep on, maw bonny bairn,
Sleep on, maw canny son,
Affecshun watches near ye noo,
Sleep on, its muther's cum!
"Oh, Geordy, hes the bairn been gud?"
Cries Peg, quite oot o' breeth,
"Aw thowt ye'd hevv a weary job,
It's bizzy cuttin teeth:
Aw left its boily on the neuk,
Aw thowt the job ye'd curse,
The poor thing cried this mornin sair,
But yor a clivor nurse!"
"Hoo calm it sleeps,-the little pet
Like sum wax figor there,
Ne trubbil cloods its bonny broo,
It's free, as yit, frae care;
Are ye not prood o' such a bairn?
The only lad we've had,
It's nose, its eyes, its mooth, its chin's
The pictor ov its dad!"
"Luck at its lips, its churry lips,
That move when iv its sleep,
As tho it dreamt it had the tit
Between its lips to keep;
Tor's mony a one wad give a croon
Te claim him as thor awn,
The bliss, the joy o' wedded life's
A kind a' bonny bairn!"
"Whish't, Geordy, for its stirin noo,
Luck at the happy smile
That prightens up its bonny fyece,
Se sweet, an' free frae guile,
Eneuff te myek each sinner blush;
Dream on, thor's nowt te fear,
Thor's kindly watchers near yor bed,
Its dad an' mammy's here!"
