Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
I Heard a Cow Low
I Heard a Cow Low
I Heard a Cow Low
I heard a cow low, a bonnie cow low,
An' a cow low down in yon glen,
Lang, lang will my young son greet,
Or his mither bid him come ben.
I heard a cow low, a bonnie cow low,
An' a cow low down in yon fauld,
Lang, lang will my young son greet
Or his mither take him frae cauld.
