As I came by Blaweary
I heard a young wife sing —
Hush-a-low, hush-a-low,
Hush-a-low my dearie,
Hush-a-low my little lamb,
Hush-a-low and sleep.

As I came by Blaweary
I heard a young wife sing —
Hush-a-low, hush-a-low,
Hush-a-low my dearie,
Daddy's in the lambing-storm
'Tending to the sheep.

As I came by Blaweary
I heard a young wife sing —
Hush-a-low, hush-a-low
Hush-a-low my dearie,
Daddy's coming home again
To find his lamb asleep.
