Lyrics
Hush Chorus Hush, hush, time to be sleeping Hush, hush, dreams come a-creeping Dreams of peace and of freedom So smile in your sleep, bonny baby Once our valleys were ringing With sounds of our children singing But now sheep bleat till the evening And shielings lie empty and broken Chorus Where stands our proud highland mettle Our men once so feared in battle Now stand, cowed, huddled like cattle And soon to be shipped o'er the ocean Chorus No use pleading or praying gone, gone all hope of staying So oh hush now, the anchor's a-weighing Don't cry in your sleep, bonny baby
