"Coorie Doon" Chorus 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 Curlby Main, Your daddy's howking coal my darling For his own wee wean. There's darkness doon the mine my darling, Darkness, dust and damp. But we must have or heat, or light, Oor fire and oor lamp. Your daddy coories doon my darling, Doon in a three foot seam, So you can coorie doon my darling, Coorie doon and dream.
– Matt McGinn (Scottish songwriter, 1928-1977
