Hush Hush by Jim MacLean Air: The Mist-Covered Mountains Chorus: Hush, Hush time tae be sleepin' Hush, Hush dreams come a creepin  Dreams of peace and freedom So smile in your sleep bonny baby. Once our Valleys were ringin' With sounds o' our children singin' But now sheep bleat in the evening And sheilings lie empty and broken. Chorus We stood wi' heads bowed in prayer While factors burned our cottages bare The flames licked the clear mountain air And many were dead in the mornin'. Chorus Where was our proud highland mettle? Our men once so fearless in battle Now stand, cowed, huddled like cattle And wait to be shipped o er the ocean. Chorus No use in cryin' or pleadin' Gone, gone all hope of stayin' So hush hush, the anchors are weighing Don t cry in your sleep bonny baby. Chorus (x2)
