Thread Name: Lyr Req: Breton Mother's Lullaby? / Cape Breton...
Subject: RE: Breton Mother's Lullaby
here's what i've gleaned so far
Driftwood is burning blue
Wild walk the walls'? Shadows
night winds go riding by
Riding by the Lockie? Meadows
On to the ring of day
Flows Myra's? stream singing
Chorus
Kie doo roo lah laddie
Lah laddie
Sleep the stars away
Far on them brayah? Side
Lambs from the flock wonder
Here there and everywhere
Over the mountain yonder
Bind them and fold them deep
Fold them to sleep singing
Kie doo roo lah laddie
Lah laddie
Sleep the moon away
Daddy is gone a bay
He'll keep the pot brewing
Keep all from torment? gone
Torment? gone from wrack's? ruin
Pray Mary send him home
Safe from the foam singing
Kie doo roo lah laddie
Lah laddie
Sleep the dark away
There are probably mistakes in the words we've worked out as well as the ones indicated with question marks.
Any extra information about this song would be appreciated.
Thanks
