The Cruel Mother
And there she 's leand her back to a thorn,
Oh and alelladay, oh and alelladay
And there she has her baby born.
Ten thousand times good night and be wi thee
She has houked a grave ayont the sun,
And there she has buried the sweet babe in.
And she 's gane back to her father's ha,
She 's counted the leelest maid o them a'.
‘O look not sae sweet, my bonie babe,
Gin ye smyle sae, ye 'll smyle me dead.’
Oh and alelladay, oh and alelladay
And there she has her baby born.
Ten thousand times good night and be wi thee
She has houked a grave ayont the sun,
And there she has buried the sweet babe in.
And she 's gane back to her father's ha,
She 's counted the leelest maid o them a'.
‘O look not sae sweet, my bonie babe,
Gin ye smyle sae, ye 'll smyle me dead.’
