Lyrics arr. and adapted by Loreena McKennitt[00:00:31]

A farmer there lived in the north country[00:00:41]

a hey ho bonny o[00:00:44]

And he had daughters one, two, three[00:00:47]

The swans swim so bonny o[00:00:51]

These daughters they walked by the river's brim[00:00:55]

a hey ho bonny o[00:00:58]

The eldest pushed the youngest in[00:01:02]

The swans swim so bonny o[00:01:05]

Oh sister, oh sister, pray lend me your hand[00:01:16]

with a hey ho a bonny o[00:01:20]

And I will give you house and land[00:01:23]

the swans swim so bonny o[00:01:27]

I'll give you neither hand nor glove[00:01:31]

with a hey ho a bonny o[00:01:34]

Unless you give me your own true love[00:01:38]

the swans swim so bonny o[00:01:41]

Sometimes she sank, sometimes she swam[00:01:59]

with a hey ho and a bonny o[00:02:02]

Until she came to a miller's dam[00:02:06]

the swans swim so bonny o[00:02:09]

The miller's daughter, dressed in red[00:02:13]

with a hey ho and a bonny o[00:02:17]

She went for some water to make some bread[00:02:20]

the swans swim so bonny o[00:02:23]

Oh father, oh daddy, here swims a swan[00:02:35]

with a hey ho and a bonny o[00:02:38]

It's very like a gentle woman[00:02:41]

the swans swim so bonny o[00:02:45]

They placed her on the bank to dry[00:02:49]

with a hey ho and a bonny o[00:02:52]

There came a harper passing by[00:02:56]

the swans swim so bonny o[00:02:59]

He made harp pins of her fingers fair[00:03:32]

with a hey ho and a bonny o[00:03:36]

He made harp strings of her golden hair[00:03:39]

the swans swim so bonny o [00:03:43]

He made a harp of her breast bone[00:03:47]

with a hey ho and a bonny o[00:03:50]

And straight it began to play alone[00:03:54]

the swans swim so bonny o[00:03:57]

He brought it to her father's hall[00:04:08]

with a hey ho and a bonny o[00:04:11]

And there was the court, assembled all[00:04:15]

the swans swim so bonny o[00:04:18]

He laid the harp upon a stone[00:04:22]

with a hey ho and a bonny o[00:04:26]

And straight it began to play alone[00:04:29]

the swans swim so bonny o[00:04:33]

And there does sit my father the King[00:04:51]

with a hey ho and a bonny o[00:04:54]

And yonder sits my mother the Queen[00:04:57]

the swans swim so bonny o[00:05:01]

And there does sit my brother Hugh[00:05:05]

with a hey ho and a bonny o[00:05:08]

And by him William, sweet and true[00:05:12]

the swans swim so bonny o[00:05:15]

And there does sit my false sister, Anne[00:05:19]

with a hey ho and a bonny o[00:05:23]

Who drowned me for the sake of a man[00:05:26]

the swans swim so bonny o[00:05:30]

END[00:07:08]
