COORIE DOON
COORIE DOON (A MINER'S LULLABY)
by
Matt McGinn
Coorie doon, coorie doon, coorie doon, my darlin
Coorie doon the day
Coorie doon, coorie doon, coorie doon, my darlin
Coorie doon the day
Lie doon, my dear, and in your ear
To help you close your eye
I'll sing a song, a slumber song
A miner's lullaby
Coorie doon, coorie doon, coorie doon, my darlin
Coorie doon the day
Coorie doon, coorie doon, coorie doon, my darlin
Coorie doon the day
Your daddy's doon the mine, my darlin
Doon in the curlby main
Your daddy's howkin coal, my darlin
For his ain wee wean
Coorie doon, coorie doon, coorie doon, my darlin
Coorie doon the day
Coorie doon, coorie doon, coorie doon, my darlin
Coorie doon the day
There's darkness doon the mine my darlin
Darkness, dust and damp
But we must hae oor heat, oor light
Oor fire and oor lamp
Coorie doon, coorie doon, coorie doon, my darlin
Coorie doon the day
Coorie doon, coorie doon, coorie doon, my darlin
Coorie doon the day
Your daddy coories doon, my darlin
Doon in a three foot seam
So you can coorie doon, my darlin
Coorie doon and dream
Coorie doon, coorie doon, coorie doon, my darlin
Coorie doon the day
Coorie doon, coorie doon, coorie doon, my darlin
Coorie doon the day
