Cape Breton Lullabye

Lyrics by Kenneth Leslie, traditional air.


Driftwood is burning blue, wild walk the wall shadows
Night winds go riding by, riding by the lochie meadows
On ‘til the ring of day, flows Mira's stream singing

(Chorus)
Cadil Gu La, laddie, la, laddie, sleep the stars away.

Far on Beinn Bhreagh's site, wanders the lost lambies
Here, there and everywhere, everywhere their troubled mammies
Find them and fold them deep, fold them to sleep, singing

Cadil Gu La, laddie, la, laddie, sleep the stars away.

Daddy is on the bay, he'll keep the pot brewing
Keep all from tumbling down, tumbling down to rack and ruin
Pray, Mary, send him home, safe from the foam singing

Cadil Gu La, laddie, la, laddie, sleep the stars away.
