This tune is a Northumbrian pipe tune adapted to this song of farming, family life. The scene is one of waking up to the demands of a baby that awakens a little too early. The lad and the lass are loathe to rise from the comfort of the bed to see to the animals, imagining what trouble the sheep and cows (kye) could be causing. The song is usually sung as a lullaby.
