about

Words by Robert Burns, published in the Scots Musical Museum, Vol. 2, 1790; melody trad. arr. Landless.

lyrics

Ca’ the yowes to the knowes,
Ca’ them where the heather grows,
Ca’ them where the burnie rowes,
My bonnie dearie.

As I went down the water side
‘Twas there I met my shepherd lad,
He row’d me sweetly in his plaid
And he called me his dearie.

Will you go down the water side
To see the waves so sweetly glide?
Beneath the hazels spreading wide,
The moon it shines full clearly.

(Chorus)

You shall get gowns and ribbons meet,
Calf leather shoes upon your feet,
And in my arms you’ll lie and sleep
And you shall be my dearie.

If you’ll but stand to what you’ve
said,
I’ll go with you my shepherd lad,
And you may rowe me in your plaid
And I shall be your dearie.

(Chorus)

While waters wimple to the sea,
While day blinks in the lift so high,
Til clay-cold death shall blind my
eye,
You shall be my dearie.
(Chorus)
