When the Kye Come Hame
‘Come All Ye Jolly Shepherds, Yet’
(traditional)
Come all ye jolly shepherds,
that whistle thro’ the glen
I’ll tell ye o’ a secret that
courtiers dinna ken;
What is the greatest bliss that
the tongue o’man can name?
‘Tis to woo his bonnie lassie
when the kye come hame.
(refrain)
When the kye come hame
When the kye come hame,
‘Tween the gloamin’ and the mirk,
When the kye come hame.
There the blackbird biggs his nest
for the mate he loves to see,
And, up on the top-most bough,
oh, happy bird is he!
Then he pours his melting ditty,
and love, ‘tis a’ the theme,
An’ he’ll woo his bonnie lassie
when the kye come hame.
(refrain)
