Baloo Lammy - Traditional

Baloo, baloo, my wee, wee thing,
O baloo, baloo, my wee, wee thing.
O baloo, baloo, my wee, wee thing,
Baloo, baloo, my wee, wee thing.

Thou'rt mine joy and thou'rt my darling,
O baloo, baloo, my wee, wee thing.
Baloo, baloo, my wee, wee thing,
Baloo, baloo, my wee, wee thing.

Sleep in peace, my little Jesus,
O baloo, baloo, my wee, wee thing.
Baloo, baloo, my wee, wee thing,
Baloo, baloo, my wee, wee thing.

Baloo Lammy lyrics use the Scots word baloo for a lullaby and lammy for a little lamb to express the tender love of the Virgin Mary for her child. The song is characterized by its simple and pastoral beauty reflecting the folk traditions of the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands. It creates an atmosphere of safety and warmth in the midst of a cold winter night. By singing the Baloo Lammy lyrics the faithful are invited to a moment of quiet reflection on the intimacy of the Incarnation and the peace that the Lamb of God brings to all who seek His presence.
