Glasgow Lullaby [G]Eric Bogle

GHush wee babby, for yer Cdaddy's comin' in
DStumblin' up the stair and missin' every G yin
Rotten wi' beer and C stinkin' o' gin
DHe's drunk again -- as Gusual

Chorus
GOh my God, it's a C weary, weary life
DWho wid be a G drinkin' man's wife
Who wid thole a' this C trouble and this strife
DWho but a silly Gwoman

GHush wee babby, he's Ccomin' in the door
DDrunken big feet are Gskitin' over the floor
He's had a bucket, but he's Cthirstin' for more
DHe disnae ken when he's Gbeaten

GHush wee babby, listen Ctae him sittin' there
DWi his bloodshot eyes and his Gtangled hair
Mooth fu' o' big talk and Ceyes fu' o' despair
DAnd blaming me -- as Gusual

Chorus

GHush wee babby, yer Cdaddy's gone tae bed
The Dmorn he'll no' remember a' Gthe things he said
But his tongue wis sharp and Ca' the wounds they bled
DBut then I'm used tae Gbleedin'

GHush wee babby and Cclose yer weary eyes
DCuddle intae mammy and Gstop yer tired wee cries
And in the mornin' when ye deCcide tae rise
DYer mammy'll be here Gwaitin'

Chorus
