Joanna Newsom - Ca' the yowes

[jasonant1]

Ghaist nor bogle shalt thou fear Thou'rt to Love and Heav'n sae dear Nocht of ill may come thee near, My bonie dearie. yowes=ewes knowes=knolls, hills burnie=small stream rowes=rolls along mavis=song thrush a-faulding=put in a sheep fold gang=go gae=go ghaist=ghost bogle=demon

[jasonant1]

We'll gae down by Clouden side,

Thro the hazels, spreading wide

O'er the waves that sweetly glide

To the moon sae clearly.

Chorus

Yonder Clouden's silent towers

Where, at moonshine's midnight hours,

O'er the dewy bending flowers

Fairies dance sae cheery.

[jasonant1]

Ca' the yowes to the knowes,

Ca' them where the heather grows,

Ca' them where the burnie rowes,

My bonie dearie.

Hark, the mavis e'ening sang

Sounding Clouden's woods amang

Then a-faulding let us gang.

My bonie dearie.

this was so so beautiful when she played it, might have even been the best song and it's not even her own!

[sunshinator]

I was there, it was so beautiful, thank you

[binarymilk]

how amazing.. i saw this live.. and cried all the way through

[Adamah]

Brought tears to my eyes. Though, being Scottish, I'm a little sad she didn't attempt the dialect ;) Probably wiser that she didn't.

[EmmaSan1]

ye our scottsh dialect is kinda hard for people with english accents but not for all but i thought she would have been good with the dialect becouse she sounds scottish but anywas she was amazing

[archer1949]

That was beautiful....

[djangone]

Good lord. She's like a wind carrying a scent you've never imagined existed.

[tenajs]

I want to cry...

[ladydelirium]

Right there with ya...
