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.
