Ca' The Yowes To The Knowes Lyrics - Singles - Andy M. Stewart

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
