There lived a lady by the North Sea shore[00:00:01]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:00:06]

Two daughters were the babes she bore[00:00:10]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:00:15]

Alternating with each of the lines below[00:00:19]

As one grew bright as is the sun[00:00:21]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:00:24]

So coal black grew the elder one[00:00:28]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:00:33]

A knight came riding to the lady's door[00:00:46]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:00:50]

He'd travelled far to be their wooer[00:00:54]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:00:59]

He courted one with gloves and rings[00:01:04]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:01:08]

But he loved the other above all things[00:01:12]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:01:17]

Oh sister will you go with me[00:01:40]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:01:44]

To watch the ships sail on the sea[00:01:48]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:01:53]

She took her sister by the hand[00:01:57]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:02:02]

And led her down to[00:02:06]

The North Sea strand[00:02:09]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:02:11]

And as they stood on the windy shore[00:02:24]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:02:29]

The dark girl threw her sister o'er[00:02:33]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:02:37]

Sometimes she sank sometimes she swam[00:02:42]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:02:46]

Crying Sister reach to me your hand[00:02:50]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:02:55]

Oh Sister Sister let me live[00:02:59]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:03:04]

And all that's mine I'll surely give[00:03:08]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:03:13]

It's your own true love[00:03:17]

That I'll have and more[00:03:19]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:03:22]

But thou shalt never come ashore[00:03:26]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:03:31]

And there she floated like a swan[00:03:35]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:03:40]

The salt sea bore her body on[00:03:43]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:03:49]

Two minstrels walked along the strand[00:04:10]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:04:15]

And saw the maiden float to land[00:04:19]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:04:24]

They made a harp of her breastbone[00:04:28]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:04:33]

Whose sound would melt a heart of stone[00:04:36]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:04:41]

They took three locks of her yellow hair[00:04:45]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:04:50]

And with them strung the harp so rare[00:04:54]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:04:59]

They went into her father's hall[00:05:21]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:05:25]

To play the harp before them all[00:05:29]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:05:34]

But when they laid it on a stone[00:05:38]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:05:43]

The harp began to play alone[00:05:47]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:05:51]

The first string sang a doleful sound[00:06:04]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:06:09]

The bride her younger sister drowned[00:06:13]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:06:17]

The second string as that they tried[00:06:22]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:06:26]

In terror sits the black-haired bride[00:06:30]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:06:35]

The third string sang beneath their bow[00:06:39]

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom[00:06:44]

And surely now her tears will flow[00:06:48]

Fa la la la la la la la la la[00:06:52]
