Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk Don't Cry in Your Sleep 
Don't Cry in Your Sleep 
CHO: Hush, hush, time to be sleeping
 Hush, hush, dreams come a-creeping
 Dreams of peace and of freedom
 So smile in your sleep, bonny baby 
Once our valleys were ringing With songs of our children singing But now sheep bleat till the evening And shielings lie empty and broken 
Where is our proud highland mettle Our troops once so fierce in battle Now stand, cowed, huddled like cattle And wait to be shipped o'er the ocean 
No use pleading or praying For gone, gone is all hope of staying Hush, hush, the anchor's a-weighing Don't cry in your sleep, bonny baby
