Broom O the Cowdenknowes (lyrics)
How blithe each morn was I tae see My lass came o'er the hillShe tripped the burn and ran tae meI met her wi' good will
Chorus: Oh the broom, the bonnie, bonnie broomThe broom o' the cowdenknowes Fain would I be in my own countryHerding my father's ewes
Hard fate that I should banished be Gone way o'er hill and moorBecause I loved the fairest lass That ever yet was born
Chorus
Farewell, ye cowdenknowes, farewellFarewell all pleasures thereTo wander by her side againIs all I crave or care
Chorus
