A Highland Fairy Lullaby
A Highland Fairy Lullaby
I left my baby lying there,
Lying there, lying there
I left my baby lying there
When I went to gather blaeberries.
Ho bhan, ho bhan haithri o ho
Haithri o ho, haithri o ho
Ho bhan, ho bhan haithri o ho
When I went to gather blaeberries.
I found the track of the swan on the lake
Swan on the lake, swan on the lake
I found the track of the swan on the lake
But not a trace of baby, O!
Ho bhan, ho bhan haithri o ho
Haithri o ho, haithri o ho
Ho bhan, ho bhan haithri o ho
But not a trace of baby, O!
I followed the trail of the mountain mist
Mountain mist, mountain mist
I followed the trail of the mountain mist
And there I found my baby, O!
Ho bhan, ho bhan haithri o ho
Haithri o ho, haithri o ho
Ho bhan, ho bhan haithri o ho
And there I found my baby, O!
