about

DREAM ANGUS. I end the lullaby journey with this one which was my mother’s favourite, and one I sang to my three boys. My sister visited the studio while I was recording it and I persuaded her to sing some harmonies - something she has been doing all her life. Thank you Kirsty!

lyrics

DREAM ANGUS

Can ye no' hush yer weeping' o?
A' the wee lambs are sleepin' o.
A' the wee birdies are nestlin' thegither.
Dream Angus is hirplin' ower the heather

Dreams tae sell. fine dreams tae sell
Angus is here wi' dreams tae sell.
Hush bonnie bairnie an' sleep without fear.
Dream Angus will bring you a dream, my dear.

List' tae the curlew cryin' o.
Faint are the echoes dyin' o
A' the wee birdies and beasties are sleeping'
But my bonnie bairnie is weepin', weepin'

Dreams tae sell, fine dreams tae sell etc...
