(Wando, Jeonnam Province/ Gwon, Jeobang-rye(85yrs)/ 1990)
◆ As cotton spinning was done at night after all the housework was done, the most difficult thing was trying to chase away sleep overwhelming the fatigued body. This song, also called ‘Sleep Song' talks about such difficulty.
(Content of Song)
“I am sleepy
My eyes feel so sleepy
Buy this sleep
Old lady living across, please buy sleep from my eyes
Just give me little money and buy my sleep”
