Broom o' the Cowdenknowes is a traditional
Scots song and one of the most beautiful.
 
It is a romantic love song but the lover is
banished for some unknown reason never
to see her again. 
It was a common punishment
in old Celtic Scotland.

Broom Of The Cowdenknowes
 
How blithe each morn was I tae see
My lass came o'er the hill
She tripped the burn and ran tae me
I met her wi' good will
 
CHORUS

Oh the broom, the bonnie, bonnie broom
The broom o' the cowdenknowes
Fain would I be in my own country
Herding my father's ewes
 
Hard fate that I should banished be
Gone way o'er hill and moor
Because I loved the fairest lass
That ever yet was born
 
CHORUS

Oh the broom, the bonnie, bonnie broom
The broom o' the cowdenknowes
Fain would I be in my own country
Herding my father's ewes
 
Farewell, ye cowdenknowes, farewell
Farewell all pleasures there
To wander by her side again
Is all I crave or care
 
CHORUS

Oh the broom, the bonnie, bonnie broom
The broom o' the cowdenknowes
Fain would I be in my own country
Herding my father's ewes
