Traditional Scottish Songs
- Up in the Morning Early
Up in the Morning Early
Chorus:
Up in the morning 's no for me,
Up in the morning early!
When a' the hills are cover'd wi snaw,
I'm sure it's winter fairly!Cauld blaws the wind frae east to west,
The drift is driving sairly;
Sae loud and shrill's I hear the blast -
I'm sure it's winter fairly!Chorus:
The birds sit chittering in the thorn,
A' day they fare but sparely;
And lang's the night frae e'en to morn -
I'm sure it's winter fairly!Chorus:
Meaning of unusual words:
fairly=strange sight
sairly=painfully
chittering=shivering
