Aha, I just found a great site called Mudcat Cafe. Under lullabies, there was a Scottish lullaby with some Norse history included (in blue).
CAN YOU SEW CUSHIONS
O can ye sew Cushions, and can ye sew Sheets,
And can ye sing balluloo when the bairn greets?
And hee and baw birdie, and hee and baw lamb,
And hee and baw birdie, my bonnie wee lamb.
Hee O, wee O, what wou'd I do wi' you?
Black's the life that I lead wi' you;
Monny O you, little for to gie you,
Hee O, wee O, what would I do wi' you.
SMM V (1796), 456 (no. 444), with music; supplied by Burns
[punctuation added]. Stenhouse, in his notes (394)
gives a second verse:
I've placed my cradle on yon holly top,
And aye as the wind blew, my cradle did rock;
O hush a ba, baby, O ba lilly loo,
And hee and ba, birdie, my bonnie wee dow.
Hee O! wee O!
What will I do wi' you, &c.
See Lucy Broadwood in FSJ (JFSS) no. 19 (V.2), 1915, p. 243,
identifying the air as = Crodh Chailein; and further, the
tune and the words of the chorus recall another Highland
song, "Oran Tlaidh an Eich-Uisge" ("Lullaby of the Water-
Horse") noted by Frances Tolmie in Skye (FSJ no. 16 [IV.3],
1911, 160):
The neighing refrain "Hee-o, wee-o," etc. ["Heigh O,
heugh O" in MacLeod-Boulton, Songs of the North, I.14-
15], in the English text seems quite pointless; but,
when compared with the Gaelic original, the grafting
together of the two Highland lullabies becomes clear and
the chorus invested with some importance, seeing that in
the Highland "Water-Horse" we have an ancient Norse
survival, and that the poor "Kelpie," neighing his child
to sleep, was the lonely husband of "brown-haired Morag"
who, homesick, fled, to live on dry land once more;
regardless of the tender lamentations of her forsaken
merman.@Scots @lullaby
