A Miner’s Lullaby (Coorie Doon) Lyrics

Coorie doon, Coorie doon, Coorie Doon, my darling
Coorie doon the day
Coorie doon, Coorie doon, Coorie Doon, my darling
Coorie doon the day

Lie doon, my dear, and in your ear
To help you close your eye
I'll sing a song, a slumber song
A miner's lullaby

Your daddy's doon the mine, my darling
Doon in the Curbly Main
Your daddy's howkin' coal, my darling
For his ain wee wean

There's darkness doon the mine my darling
Darkness, dust and damp
But we must have oor heat, oor light
Oor fire and our lamp

Your daddy coories doon, my darling
Doon in a three foot seam
So you can coorie doon my darling
Coorie doon and dream

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
