Mei’s Lullaby


Oh, ain tain tethera, methera and mimp

Fall back home, my loving little sheep.

Ayta and slayta, laura dora dik

Lay down your heads on the grass so thick.


Ain-a-dik, tain-a-dik, tethera-dik, methera-dik mit

Ease on o’er so your brother’s bum’ll fit.

Ain-a-mit, tain-a-mit, tether-mit gether-mit, ghet

Cast off the weight from your bon’ wee head.
