Come all ye jolly shepherds
That whistle through the glen
I'll tell ye of a secret
That courtiers dinna ken
What is the greatest bliss
That the tongue of man can name
'Tis to woo a bonny lassie
When the kye come hame
Chorus
When the kye come hame
When the kye come hame
'Tween the gloamin and the mirk
When the kye come hame
Autograph of James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd,
Written by him, for R. A. Smith, at Edinburgh,
