Subject: Lyr Add: MILL GIRLS LULLABY (Gary and Vera Aspey)
The Sainted Mrs Bailey wishes to learn the Mill Girl's Lament that we have on a Gary and Vera Aspey LP and we have sorted out all the words except one line. Can anyone help?
MILL GIRL'S LULLABY
Close your eyes, me weary Brid ? Lay down your bonny head Your Mammy's up at crack of dawn To go to work in't shed
Now go to sleep, me litle bairn Hush, love, lie thee still Thee Mam'll come tomorrow neet When she comes home from t'mill
Your Mam has got to go to work To earn herself a bit o' brass But I'll see thee tomorrow neet So sleep, me bonny las
When tha gets up tomorrow morn Be sure tha makes thy clogs to shine I've left thee porridge on't fire hob And ???????????????????????????????
Be good at school and do thee sums And don't you play in all the muck But come straight home at th'afternoon And don't go near yon brook
So go to sleep and greet no more It's been a very lonely day But don't thee fret, me little Brid ? I'll play with thee on Sunday
