Summary
| Description |
One of several of Robert Burns poems and songs referenced on this memorial stone on the pavement in front of the entrance to St Michael's church in Dumfries. The Robert Burns Mausoleum is located in the the churchyard, it has been spruced up recently and makes a positive contrast with this rather work-a-day memorial. A yowe is a sheep, Burns wrote his song in 1789. CAW THE YOWES Chorus.-Ca' the yowes to the knowes, Ca' them where the heather grows, Ca' them where the burnie rowes, My bonie dearie As I gaed down the water-side, There I met my shepherd lad: He row'd me sweetly in his plaid, And he ca'd me his dearie. Ca' the yowes, &c. Will ye gang down the water-side, And see the waves sae sweetly glide Beneath the hazels spreading wide, The moon it shines fu' clearly. Ca' the yowes, &c. Ye sall get gowns and ribbons meet, Cauf-leather shoon upon your feet, And in my arms ye'se lie and sleep, An' ye sall be my dearie. Ca' the yowes, &c. Robert Burns 1759 - 1796. If ye'll but stand to what ye've said, I'se gang wi' thee, my shepherd lad, And ye may row me in your plaid, And I sall be your dearie. Ca' the yowes, &c. While waters wimple to the sea, While day blinks in the lift sae hie, Till clay-cauld death sall blin' my e'e, Ye sall be my dearie. Ca' the yowes, &c. |
