CAPE BRETON LULLABY
Kenneth Leslie
(The Cottars version)

{A}Driftwood is {G}burning {A}blue
{A}Wild walk the {G}wall {Em}shadows
{A}Night winds go {F#m7}riding by
{Em}Riding {A}by the {D}lochie {A}meadows
{G}On to the {A}ring of {Bm}day
{B7}Flows Mira's {E}stream singing

(Chorus)
{A}Cadil Gu La, laddie, {A7}la, laddie
{G}Sleep the {Em}night a{A}way

{A}Far on Beinn {G}Bhreagh's {A}side
{A}Wander the {G}lost {Em}lambies
{A}Here, there and {F#m7}everywhere
{Em}Every{A}where their {D}troubled {A}mammies
{Em}Find them and {A}fold them {Bm}deep
{B7}Fold them to {E}sleep, singing

{A}Cadil Gu La, laddie, {A7}la, laddie
{G}Sleep the {Em}night a{A}way

{A}Daddy is {G}on the {A}bay
{A}He'll keep the {G}pot {Em}brewing
{A}Keep all from {F#m7}tumbling down
{Em}Tumbling {A}down to {D}rack and {A}ruin
{Em}Pray, Mary, {A}send him {Bm}home
{B7}Safe from the {E}foam singing

{A}Cadil Gu La, laddie, {A7}la, laddie
{G}Sleep the {Em}night a{A}way
{G}Sleep the {Em}night a{A}way
