Bonny Bonny Broom |
| Oh the broom, the bonny bonny broom |
| Broom of the Cowdenknowes |
| ‘Fain would I be in my old country |
| Herding my father’s ewes |
| Hard fate that I should banished be |
| Gone from hill and moor |
| Because I loved the fairest lad that ever yet was born |
| How blithe each morn was I to see |
| My love come over the hill |
| He tripped the burn and ran to me and I met him with good will |
| Oh the broom, the bonny bonny broom |
| Broom of the Cowdenknowes |
| ‘Fain would I be in my old country |
| Herding my father’s ewes |
| Farewell ye Cowdenknowes, farewell |
| Farewell all pleasures there |
| To wander by his side again is all I crave or care |
| Oh the broom, the bonny bonny broom |
| Broom of the Cowdenknowes |
| ‘Fain would I be in my own country |
| Herding my father’s ewes |
| Oh the broom, the bonny bonny broom |
| Broom of the Cowdenknowes |
| ‘Fain would I be in my own country |
| Herding my father’s ewes |
| Herding my father’s ewes |
| Herding my father’s ewes |
