When the Kye Come Hame

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, 27th Feb: 1823.
