11O can ye sew cushions and can ye sew sheets,O can ye sew cushions, and can ye sew sheets,
22And can ye sing ballulow when the bairn greets?And can ye sing balla loo when the bairn greets,
33And hie and baw, birdie, and hie and baw, lamb,And hee and baw birdie, and hee and baw lamb,
44And hee and baw, birdie, my bonnie wee lamb.And hee and baw birdie, my bonny wee lamb?
55Hee O, wee O, what wou'd I do wi' you?
66Hie-o, wie-o, what will I do wi' ye?
77Black's the life that I lead wi' ye,Black's the life that I lead wi' you;
88Many o' you, little for to gi' ye,Mony o' you, little for to gi' you,
99Hie-o, wie-o, what will I do wi' ye?Hee O, wee O, what wou'd I do wi' you?

11I've placed my cradle on yon hilly top,
12And aye as the wind blew my cradle did rock.
13O hush-a-by, babie, O baw lily loo,
14And hee and baw, birdie, my bonnie wee doo.
