ca' the yowes to the knowes
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.
