Bonnie broom

Oh the broom, the bonnie bonnie broom
The broom o' the Cowdenknowes
Fein would I be in my ain country
Herding ma faither's yowes.

A traditional Scottish song as performed by Silly Wizard. I saw them several times in the late 70s, and they always made us sing this song. I don't even know where the Cowdenknowes are.
Extra: the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1oLnakDUmI
