Am G  Am G C G  Am G Am 
 Am G  Am G C G  Am G Am 

[Chorus]
Am
Hush, Hush it's time to be sleeping
G
Hush, Hush dreams come a-creeping
Am     G   C         G
Dreams of peace and freedom
   Am            G           Am
So smile in your sleep bonny baby

[Verse]
Am
Once our Valleys were ringing
         G
With the sounds of our children singing
Am   G     C            G
Now sheep bleat in the evening
        Am              G         Am
And the sheilings stand empty and broken

[Chorus]
Am
Hush, Hush it's time to be sleeping
G
Hush, Hush dreams come a-creeping
Am     G   C         G
Dreams of peace and freedom
   Am            G           Am
So smile in your sleep bonny baby

[Verse]
Am
We stood with our heads bowed in prayer
         G
While factors lay our cottages bare
Am     G  C         G
Flames fire clear mountain air
   Am           G           Am
And many were dead in the morning

[Chorus]
Am
Hush, Hush it's time to be sleeping
G
Hush, Hush dreams come a-creeping
Am     G   C         G
Dreams of peace and freedom
   Am            G           Am
So smile in your sleep bonny baby

[Verse]
Am
Where stands our proud highland mettle?
         G
Our men once so feared in battle
 Am      G   C         G
But now they stand huddled like cattle
   Am         G             Am
Soon to be shipped o'er the ocean

[Chorus]
Am
Hush, Hush it's time to be sleeping
G
Hush, Hush dreams come a-creeping
Am     G   C         G
Dreams of peace and freedom
   Am            G           Am
So smile in your sleep bonny baby

[Verse]
Am
No use pleading or praying
         G
Now gone, gone all hopes of staying
Am     G  C         G
So hush now anchors away
   Am             G           Am
Don't cry in your sleep bonny baby

[Chorus]
Am
Hush, Hush it's time to be sleeping
G
Hush, Hush dreams come a-creeping
Am     G   C         G
Dreams of peace and freedom
   Am            G           Am
So smile in your sleep bonny baby
