Subject: Origins: Go to Sleep folk song
Hello, I just found this song on youtube by a singer called Aafje Heynis

Here is the video:

I can't seem to find anything about this song, not even the lyrics, I can barely make some of them out due to the singer's accent.

It sounds like Down to the shore with my Bairnie and over a fairy boat with my barnie. Oh

"chill" and be patient till the snow it is melted

Lie down now, yes my bairnes-I guessed that she was saying bairnie as the word is Scottish for children or babies and it sounds like a lullaby.

And I think she's saying "Snowing" at the end of the piece? Anyone have any of the origins of this song and possibly the lyrics?

Go to sleep now Bairnie
