¶Lyrics / Text

O can ye sew cushions, and can ye sew sheets? And can ye sing baluloo when the bairn greets? And hee and ba, birdie, and hee and ba, lamb! And hee and ba, birdie, my bonnie wee lamb! O wee, O wee, what will I do? O wee, O wee, Black's the life, O wee, O wee, what will I do? O wee, O wee, O what will I da wi' you? I've placed my cradle on yon holly top And aye as the wind blew my cradle did rock. O hushaba, baby, O ba lilly loo! And hee and ba, birdie, my bonnie wee doo! O wee, O wee, what will I do? O wee, O wee, Black's the life, O wee, O wee, what will I do? O wee, O wee, O what will I do wi' you?
