w:Ten-din' my dad-die's ewes
W:
W:1. How blithe was I each morn tae see
W:My lass come o'er the hill
W:She tripped the burn and she ran to me
W:I met her with good will
W:
W:2. She would oblige me every hour
W:Could I but faithful be?
W:She stole my heart, could I refuse
W:Whate'er she asked of me?
W:
W:
W:3. We neither herded ewes nor lamb
W:While the flock near us lay
W:She gathered in the sheep at night
W:And cheered me all the day
W:
W:4. Hard fate that I should banished be
W:Sae early in the morn
W:Because I lo'ed the fairest lass
W:That ever yet was born
W:
W:5. Fareweel, ye Cowdenknowes, fareweel
W:Fareweel all pleasures there
W:To roam again wi' my lass by my side
W:Is all I want or care
