The sheep's in the meadows,
The cow's in the corn,
Thou's ower long in thy bed,
Bonny at morn.

Canny at night,
Bonny at morn,
Thou's over long in thy bed,
Bonny at morn.

We're all laid idle
With keeping the bairn;
The lad winna work
Nor the lass winna learn.
Canny at night…

The bird's in the nest,
And the trout's in the burn,
Thou hinders thy mother
At many a turn.
Canny at night…
