Ca' the yowes to the knowes
G#        Fm        D#      A#1
Call them where the heather grows
G#1       D#        Fm     D#
Call them where the burnie rowes
A# D#     Fm
My bonnie dearie

G#          Fm       D#    A#
When I went down the water-side
G#         Fm     D#      A#1
To see the fishes sweetly plaid
G#1         D#    Fm        D#
Beneath the hazel spreading wide
A#                D#        Fm
And the moon that shines so clearly

     G#     Fm       D#    A#
When I went down the water-side
      G#      Fm     D#       A#1
'Twas there I met my shepherd lad
   G#1      D#      Fm     D#
He row'd me sweetly in his plaid
    A#         D#    Fm
And called me, I his dearie

   G#         Fm       D#          A#
If you'll but stand to what you've said
     G#        Fm      D#     A#1
I'll come with you, my bonnie lad
     G#1    D#     Fm      D#  
And you may row me in your plaid
    A#     D#      Fm 
And i will be your dearie

    G#       Fm        D#      A#
You will get gowns and ribbons meet
    G#      Fm    D#        A#1
And leather shoes upon your feet
    G#1   D#          Fm      D#
And in my arms you'll lie and sleep
   A#     D#      Fm
My bonnie dearie

   G#     Fm     D#     A#
As waters wimple to the sea
      G#         Fm     D#     A#1
While day breaks in the sky so high
      G#1       D#          Fm       D#
Till' clay-cold death shall blind my eye
A#      D#     Fm
I shall be thy dearie
