CA' THE EWES TAE THE KNOWES



Ca' the ewes tae the knowes

Ca' them where the heather grows

Ca' them where the burnie rowes

My bonnie dearie



Hark a mavis evening song

Soundin' Cluden's woods amang

Then a foldin' let us gang

My bonnie dearie



We'll gae doon by Cludenside

Through the hazels spreading wide

All the ways that sweetly glide

To the moon sae clearly



Doon the Cluden silent hours

All in moonshine midnight hours

All the dewy buddin' flowers

The fairies dance so cheery



Ghaist nor boggle shall thou fear

Thou art to love Heaven so dear

Naught of ill shall come you near

My bonnie dearie



Fair and lovely as thou art

Thou hast stolen my very heart

I can die but canna part

Wi' my bonnie dearie
