Anna's Lullaby

Cuddle in and hold me tight,
As I tell you everything’s alright,
Close your eyes like stars,
Rest your head, my baby.
Me oh my, I love you so,
Hurts my heart to leave you,
Though I know come the morning light,
We’ll be back together.
As you lay there sound asleep,
I’ll be guarding over you
To keep the demons from your door,
Rest your head, my baby.
The blanket o’er the world tonight,
Will soon be pulled away to let the light,
Awaken you and I,
Rest your head my baby.
Me oh my, I love you so,
Hurts my heart to leave you,
Though I know come the morning light,
We’ll be back together.

I am a miller tae my trade, and that sae weel ye ken, O,
I am a miller tae my trade, and that sae weel ye ken, O.
I am a miller tae my trade, aye, and mony a sack o' meal I've made
And mony a lassie I hae laid at the back o' the sacks o' meal, O
As merrily as the wheel gaes roond, the rate sae weel ye ken, O,
As merrily as the wheel gaes roond, the rate sae weel ye ken, O.
O, as merrily as the wheel gaes roond, wi' grinding peas and corn, O,
A better job was never foond since ever I been born, O.
It happened ae nicht in June, when I was in mysel', O,
It happened ae nicht in June, when I was in mysel', O.
O, the lassie cam' tripplin' doon the lane, said, “I hear your mill a-clackin' in, Aye and I thocht that I would just look in, for tae see if you're in yoursel', O.”
“You're welcome here, my bonnie lass, you're welcome here for aye, O,
You're welcome here, my bonnie lass, you're welcome here for aye, O,
You're welcome here, my bonnie lass, aye, whit's the news that I maun hear?
Will ye consent tae bide wi' me, aye, and bide wi' me for aye, O?”
The lauchin' lassie gied a smile, she said she couldna tell, O,
The lauchin' lassie gied a smile, she said she couldna tell, O.
O, the lauchin' lassie gied a smile She said, “Ye'll hae tae wait awhile.
When I hear your mill a-clackin' in, then ye'll hae me tae yoursel', O.”
I kissed her lips as sweet as honey, as sweet as honey dew, O,
I kissed her lips as sweet as honey, as sweet as honey dew, O.
I kissed her lips as sweet as honey until a tear cam' in her e'e,
“Oh I'll leave my mammy a' for thee, aye, and I'll bide wi' ye for aye, O.”

Pretty Saro
03:15
|
|||
|
Down in some lonesome valley, in a lonesome place,
Where the wild birds do whistle and their notes do increase.
Farewell Pretty Saro, I bid you adieu,
And I'll dream of Pretty Saro wherever I go.
My love, she won't have me, so I understand,
She wants a freeholder who owns house on land,
I cannot maintain her with riches and gold,
Nor buy all the fine things that a big house can hold.
If I were a merchant and could write a fine hand,
I'd write my love a letter that she'd understand,
I'd write it by a river where the waters o'erflow,
And I'd dream of Pretty Saro wherever I go.

Just getting back into folk music. In my folking days it was Nic Jones, Martin Carthy, Dick Gaughan, the Dansfields etc., and I was afraid there wouldn't be anything as good around today. I was wrong. This is beautiful and stands with the best.

In Her Company / Na Cuideachd (EP - 2018)
by Kim Carnie
supported by 34 fans who also own “Beginnings - EP”
I noticed that with every new song she'll bring something warm, something new, something heartbreaking and then a big plaster and a cup of hot chocolate so you can sit there thinking 'what the hell?'.
