Six popular songs (1850-1860)/As I came down the Canno-gate

As I Came Down the Canno-gate,

As I came down the Canno-gate,
The Canno-gate, the Canno-gate,
As I came down the Canno-gate,
I heard a lassie sing, O:

Merry may the keel rowe,
The keel rowe, the keel rowe,
Merry may the keel rowe,
The ship that my love s in, O.

My love has breath of roses,
Of roses, of roses,
With arms of lily posies,
To fauld a lassie in, O.

Merry may, &c.

My love he wears a bonnet,
A bonnet, a bonnet,
A snawy rose upon it,
A dimple on his chin, O

Merry may, &c
