lyrics

BROOM OF THE COWDENKNOWES
Traditional Scottish song
Arranged by Heather Alexander

How blythe was I, each morn' ta see,
My lassie come o'er yon hill-
She leapt the bairn and she ran ta me,
I met her wi' good will-

OH THE BROOM, THE BONNIE, BONNIE BROOM,
THE BROOM OF THE COWDENKNOWES-
'FAIN WOULD I BE IN MY AINE COUNTRY,
GUARDIN' HER FATHER'S YOWES-

Hard the fate, that I should banished be,
Gang wearily and mourn-
Because I lo'ed the fairest lass,
That ever yet was born-

Fare weel, ye Cowdeknowes, fare weel,
Fare weel, all the pleasures there-
Ta wander by her side again,
Is all I crave or care-
