Joanna Newsom - Ca' the yowes (11.16.06)

(3 of 10)
Live @ the First Unitarian Church Sanctuary - Philadelphia, PA November 16th, 2006 eattapes.com

Ca' the yowes to the knowes
Call them where the heather grows
Call them where the burnie rowes
My bonnie dearie

When I went down the water-side
To see the fishes sweetly plaid
Beneath the hazel spreading wide
And the moon that shines so clearly

When I went down the water-side
'Twas there I met my shepherd lad
He row'd me sweetly in his plaid
And called me, I his dearie

If you'll but stand to what you've said
I'll come with you, my bonnie lad
And you may row me in your plaid
And i will be your dearie

You will get gowns and ribbons meet
And leather shoes upon your feet
And in my arms you'll lie and sleep
My bonnie dearie

As waters wimple to the sea
While day breaks in the sky so high
Till' clay-cold death shall blind my eye
I shall be thy dearie

Till' clay-cold death shall blind my eye
I shall be thy dearie

This song stirs things in my soul that I never knew existed. i would give all that I posses to watch her sing this song in the Highlands of Scotland with a bagpiper at her side and a whiskey in my hand.

It's good to see that she's singing songs from different cultures, and giving them her own twist. I fucking love Joanna.
