[Chorus]
Am            G
Ca' the yowes tae the knowes

G                  D
Ca' them whaur the heather grows

Em                 G
Ca' them whaur the burnie rowes

Am G      Am
My bonnie dearie
[Verse 1]
 Am                 G
As I gaed down the water-side

G              D
there I met my shepherd lad

    Em              G
He row’s me sweetly in his plaid

Am     G        Am
An ca’d me his dearie
[Chorus]
Am            G

My bonnie dearie
[Verse 2]
Am                     G
Will you gang down the water-side

    G                 D
And see the waves sae sweetly glide

  Em              G
Beneath the hazel spreading wide

    Am      G          Am
The moon it shines fu' clearly
[Chorus]
Am            G
Ca' the yowes tae the knowes

My bonnie dearie
[Verse 3]
Am                  G
Ye sall get gowns and ribbons meet

     G              D
Cauf leather shoon upon your feet

    Em                 G
And in my arms thou’lt lie and sleep

Am      G         Am
An’ ay sall be my dearie

My bonnie dearie
[Verse 4]
Am                G
If ye’ll but stand to what ye’ve said

     G                D
I’se gang wi’ thee, my shepherd lad

    Em             G
And ye may row me in your plaid

Am        G     Am
And I sall be your dearie
[Chorus]

Ca' them whaur the heather grows

Ca' them whaur the burnie rowes

Am G      Am
My bonnie dearie
[Verse 5]
Am                   G
While waters whimple tae the sea

     G                  D
While day blinks in the lift sae hie

    Em                     G
Til clay-cauld death sall blin my e'e

Am        G     Am
Ye shall be my dearie

Ca' them whaur the burnie rowes

Am G      Am
My bonnie dearie
[Outro]
Am G      Am
My bonnie dearie
