Coorie Doon
Coorie Doon
Chorus
Coorie doon, coorie doon, coorie doon my darling,
Coorie doon the day
Coorie doon, coorie doon, coorie doon my darling,
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.
Your daddy's doon the mine, my darling,
Doon in the Curlby Main,
Your daddy's howking coal, my darling,
For his own wee wean.
There's darkness doon the mine, my darling,
Darkness, dust and damp.
But we maun hae oor heat, oor light,
Oor fire and oor lamp.
Your daddy coories doon, my darling,
Doon in a three foot seam,
So you can coorie doon, my darling,
Coorie doon and dream
