Prince Edward Island Folk Song Book


Ca' the Yowes
Chorus
Ca' the yowes to the knowes,
Ca' them where the heather grows,
Ca' them where the burnie rowes,
My bonny dearie.
We'll gae doon by Cluden side
Thru the hazels spreading wide
O'er the waves that sweetly glide
To the moon sae clearly.
Chorus
Hark the mavis evenin' song soundin'
Cluden's woods amang
Then a-foldin' let us gang, my bonnie dearie.
Chorus
Fair and lovely as thou art,
Thou hast stol'n my very heart.
I can die but canna part, by bonnie dearie
Chorus
