lyrics

Hush 

just close your eyes my gentle wee boy
today has been a long with nought to enjoy
I know that you're belly is empty and sore
hush go to sleep my wee darling

hush now go to sleep
wake in that place were you'll no longer weep
your mammy is there, soon I will come
hush go to sleep my wee darling

your days have been sort 
upon this green land
why it's so hard you can’t understand
so close your dear eyes your Da has your hand
hush go to sleep my wee darling


I'll tell you a tale, best as I can
they say that the good Lord has promised a land
there’s food on each table as much as you want
so hush go to sleep my wee darling

Sammy Horner vocals, guitars
Kylie Horner whistles
Tony Silcock drones

[I tried to imagine the horror of watching your family die of hunger and disease and how you might try to comfort them. This song almost didn’t make it on the album but I allowed some other artists to hear it and they felt it was an important one.]
