    ca' the yowes to the knowes
    ca' them where the heather grows
    ca' them where the burnie rows
    my bonnie dearie

    when I went down the water side
    to see the fishes sweetly glide
    beneath the hazel spreading wide
    and the moon that shines so clearly

    when I went down the water side
    'twas there I met my shepherd lad
    he rolled me sweetly in his plaid
    and called me by his dearie

    if you'll but stand to what you've said
    I'll come with you, my bonnie lad
    and you may roll me in your plaid
    and I will be your dearie

    you willl get gowns and ribbons meet
    and leather shoes upon your feet
    and in my arms you'll lie and sleep
    my bonnie dearie

    as waters wimple to the sea
    while day breaks in the sky so fine
    till clay-cold death shall blind my eye
    I shall be thy dearie

    till clay-cold death shall blind my eye
    I shall be thy dearie
