Felton Lonnin is the second single from Pauline Scanlon's third solo album 'The Unquiet'. ‘The Unquiet’ is about an era of women whose lives and stories I wanted to sing about through the medium of traditional song. Felton Lonnin is a Northumbrian ballad about a missing child. I sing this song to honour the women and children who endured church and state systems of incarceration and separation in laundries,the mother and baby homes, county homes,residential institutions under systems of oppression, concealment, shame,abuse,and unspeakable cruelty. I am deeply thankful to have once again collaborated with the extraordinary actor and dancer Siobhán Manson on the visual for this piece, with a video filmed, edited and directed by Alan Doherty.The lush, opulent harmony vocals on this track are by Nicola Joyce. Chris Pemberton played keys and synths, Graham Kearns played guitar,and John Reynolds played drums and produced the song

Lyrics:
The cows have come hame, but I saw not my laddie,
The cows have come hame, but I saw not my bairn.
I’d rather lose them than lose my laddie,
I’d rather lose a cow than lose my bairn.
Fair-faced is my laddie, his blue eyes is shining,
His hair in gold ringlets hangs sweet to my sight.
So mount the old pony and gang and seek after him;
Bring to his mammy her only delight.
For he’s always out roamin’ the long summer day thro’,
He’s always out roamin’ away from the farm,
Thro’ hedges and ditches and valleys and fellsides.
I hope that my bairnie has come to no harm.
For I’ve searched in the meadow and in the fower-acre,
Thro’ stockyards and byres, but nothing could I find.
So, off ye gang, daddy, and look for your laddie,
And bring to his mammy some peace to her mind.
For the cows have come home, but I saw not my laddie,
The cows have come home, but I saw not my bairn.
I’d rather lose a cow than lose my laddie,
I’d rather lose a cow than lose my bairn.
