A traditional song from Northumberland and taken from the Northumbrian Minstrelsy of 1882. The editors had this to say about "Bonny at Morn";
Some things don't change much, if at all! |

The sheep's in the meadow, The kye's in the corn, [Thou's ower lang in thy bed], Bonny at morn. The sheep's in the meadow, The kye's in the corn, [Thou's ower lang in thy bed], Bonny at morn. |
|
Chorus Canny at night, Bonny at morn, [Thou's ower lang in thy bed], Bonny at morn. |
|
The bird's in the nest, The trout's in the burn, Thou hinders thy mother, In many a turn. (Repeat) Canny at night etc. |
|
We're all laid idle, Wi' keeping the bairn, The lad winnot work, The lass winnot lairn, (Repeat) Canny at night etc. |
