Ca The Yowes To The Knowes lyrics

Chorus.-Ca the yowes to the knowes,
Ca them where the heather grows,
Ca them where the burnie rowes,
My bonie dearie

As I gaed down the water-side,
There I met my shepherd lad:
He row d me sweetly in his plaid,
And he ca d me his dearie.
Ca the yowes, &c.

Will ye gang down the water-side,
And see the waves sae sweetly glide
Beneath the hazels spreading wide,
The moon it shines fu clearly.
Ca the yowes, &c.

Ye sall get gowns and ribbons meet,
Cauf-leather shoon upon your feet,
And in my arms ye se lie and sleep,
An ye sall be my dearie.
Ca the yowes, &c.

If ye ll but stand to what ye ve said,
I se gang wi thee, my shepherd lad,
And ye may row me in your plaid,
And I sall be your dearie.
Ca the yowes, &c.

While waters wimple to the sea,
While day blinks in the lift sae hie,
Till clay-cauld death sall blin my e e,
Ye sall be my dearie.
Ca the yowes, &c
