The kye's come hyem, but I see not me hinny |
|
The kye's come hyem, but I see not me bairn |
|
I'd rather loss all the kye than loss me hinny |
|
I'd rather loss all the kye than loss me bairn |
|
The kye's come hyem... |
|
Fresh faced is me hinny, his blue eyes are bonny |
|
His hair in curled ringlets hung sweet to the sight |
|
So mount the old pony, seek after me hinny |
|
Bring back to his mammy her only delight |
|
He's always out roaming the lang summerday through |
|
He's always out roaming away from the farm |
|
Through hedges and ditches and valleys and hillsides |
|
I hope that me hinny may come to no harm |
|
Well, I've searched in the meadow and in the far acre |
|
Through stockyard and byre, but nowt could I find |
|
So off you go, daddy, seek after your laddie |
|
Bring back to his mammy some peace to her mind |
|
The kye's come hyem... |
|
The kye's come hyem... |
