The Corrie Folk Trio And Paddie Bell --- A Highland Lullaby

[@howardcole3405]

My mother used to sing this to my sister and me as a lullaby some seventy-four years ago, sounds as lovely as ever. My father was stationed in Wick for a time during the war, hence the song. Truly beautiful

My Nana sang that to me when I was very wee- I'm 55 now & still know & love this song :)

[@fionaatbk]

It's lovely and also poignant how songs bring us back to those we love 😪

This is magical,I remember this fabulous group from the Tonight Show tea time BBc many years ago.

[@killiekentman]

another classic, thanks Linda.

Behind the beautiful harmonies, a poignantly sad song. I wonder if there's a story behind the lyrics. I wouldn't have minded having Paddie Bell lullaby me to sleep.

[@Planxti]

absolutely fantastic!--

[@LindsayCurran]

Absolutely beautiful! Many, many thanks, Linda!

[@ceanadach]

Lovely! :)

[@MDBellamy]

This one's been hidden on a compilation album called Folk Favourites since the mid-60s. Aileen Aroon's on the same disc. Well worth tracking down if you have a record player.

[@keltickev27]

another gem Linda! where do you you find them!?

[@MDBellamy]

@MegaArchitect1 Certainly a poignant song of loss. I've always thought it might be a mother's way of rationalizing the death of a child, but the "fairy" explanation fits better. Apologies for the loooong delay in response. (I couldn't access my KZbin a/c.) Tom B.
