Chorus. When the kye comes hame When the kye comes hame, Tween the gloamin and the the kye comes hame. Tis not beneath the coronet, Nor canopy of state,Tis not on couch of velvet, Nor arbour of the great—Tis beneath the spreading birk In the glen without the name,Wi a bonny, bonny lassie, When the kye comes hame.

And love is a the theme ;And hell woo his bonny lassie When the kye comes hame. When the blewart bears a pearl, And the daisy turns a pea,And the bonny luckan gowan Has fauldit up her ee,138.
