CANNILY, CANNILY

(Ewan MacColl)



Cannily, cannily, my lal bairnikie

Divn't tha cry, my lal pet

Whisht at thy greetin'

Your daddy is sleeping

It's not time to waken him yet



Soon he'll be gan thro' the shed for his engine

Soon he'll be driving his train through the night

Working for pennies for you, my lal treasure

So had the noise, hinnie, your daddy sleeps light



When tha art grown tha shalt have tha own engine

The biggest that ever was seen on the line

And aal o' wor neighbors will point to my Johnnie

And knaa he's the king o' the North Eastern Line
