bonny at morn.... "The sheep's in the meadow, The kye's in the corn, [Thou's ower lang in thy bed], Bonny at morn. The sheep's in the meadow, The kye's in the corn, [Thou's ower lang in thy bed], Bonny at morn.
Chorus Canny at night, Bonny at morn, [Thou's ower lang in thy bed], Bonny at morn.
The bird's in the nest, The trout's in the burn, Thou hinders thy mother, In many a turn. (Repeat) Canny at night etc.
We're all laid idle, Wi' keeping the bairn, The lad winnot work, The lass winnot lairn, (Repeat)
