Lyrics Driftwood cape Breton Lullaby Celtic Hits

Download Driftwood on iTunes


Driftwood is burning blue, 
wild walk the wall shadows,
Night winds go sailing by,
sailing by the lochie meadows.
On to the light of day flows Mira's stream, singing:
Caidil gu la laddie, la, laddie, sleep the night away.

Far on Beinn Bhreagh's side,
wander the lost lambies.
Here, there and everywhere,
everywhere their troubled mammies.
Find them and fold them deep, fold them to sleep, singing:
Caidil gu la laddie, la, laddie, sleep the night away.

Daddy is on the bay,
he'll keep the pot brewing,
Keep all from tumbling down,
tumbling down to rack and ruin;
Pray, Mary, send him home safe from the foam, singing:
Caidil gu la laddie, la, laddie, sleep the night away.
