lyrics

Older than the house I love,
Older turns the eyes above

Don’t you worry boy
I’m sleeping sound
Don’t despair my boy,
Not lost I’m found

All three boys please gather ‘round
Head held high and don’t look down
Don’t you worry boys,
I’m sleeping sound
Don’t despair my boy,
Not lost I’m found

Oh, the owl is dying love,
No, the owl is waking up to sing
Oh, the owl is dying love,
No, the owl is waking up to sing

That damned dog’s as wise as me
Running ‘neath the apple tree
Don’t you worry dog
I’m sleeping sound
Don’t despair my dog,
Not lost I’m found

Oh, my Bonnie silver hair
Don’t you go and cry in there
Don’t you worry love,
I’m sleeping sound
Don’t despair my love,
Not lost I’m found

Oh, the owl is dying love,
No, the owl is waking up to sing
Oh, the owl is dying love,
No, the owl is waking up to sing

Older than the house I love,
Older turns the eyes above
Don’t you worry boy
I’m sleeping sound
Don’t despair my boy,
Not lost I’m found
