| [00:26.50] |
A farmer there lived in the north country(a hey ho bonny o) |
| [00:33.50] |
And he had daughters one, two, three(The swans swim so bonny o) |
| [00:41.50] |
These daughters they walked by the river's brim(a hey ho bonny o) |
| [00:47.50] |
The eldest pushed the youngest in(The swans swim so bonny o) |
| [01:01.50] |
Oh sister, oh sister, pray lend me your hand(with a hey ho a bonny o) |
| [01:08.50] |
And I will give you house and land(the swans swim so bonny o) |
| [01:16.50] |
I'll give you neither hand nor glove(with a hey ho a bonny o) |
| [01:22.50] |
Unless you give me your own true love(the swans swim so bonny o) |
| [01:36.50] |
Sometimes she sank, sometimes she swam(with a hey ho and a bonny o) |
| [01:43.50] |
Until she came to a miller's dam(the swans swim so bonny o) |
| [01:51.00] |
The miller's daughter, dressed in red(with a hey ho and a bonny o) |
| [01:57.50] |
She went for some water to make some bread(the swans swim so bonny o) |
| [02:11.50] |
Oh father, oh daddy, here swims a swan(with a hey ho and a bonny o) |
| [02:18.50] |
It's very like a gentle woman(the swans swim so bonny o) |
| [02:26.20] |
They placed her on the bank to dry(with a hey ho and a bonny o) |
| [02:32.80] |
There came a harper passing by(the swans swim so bonny o) |
| [03:09.00] |
He made harp pins of her fingers fair(with a hey ho and a bonny o) |
| [03:15.50] |
He made harp strings of her golden hair(the swans swim so bonny o) |
| [03:22.50] |
He made a harp of her breast bone(with a hey ho and a bonny o) |
| [03:29.50] |
And straight it began to play alone(the swans swim so bonny o) |
| [03:43.50] |
He brought it to her father's hall(with a hey ho and a bonny o) |
| [03:50.50] |
And there was the court, assembled all(the swans swim so bonny o) |
| [03:57.50] |
He laid the harp upon a stone(with a hey ho and a bonny o) |
| [04:05.00] |
And straight it began to play alone(the swans swim so bonny o) |
| [04:18.50] |
And there does sit my father the King(with a hey ho and a bonny o) |
| [04:25.50] |
And yonder sits my mother the Queen(the swans swim so bonny o) |
| [04:32.50] |
And there does sit my brother Hugh(with a hey ho and a bonny o) |
| [04:39.50] |
And by him William, sweet and true(the swans swim so bonny o) |
| [04:47.50] |
And there does sit my false sister, Anne(with a hey ho and a bonny o) |
| [04:53.50] |
Who drowned me for the sake of a man(the swans swim so bonny o) |
| [05:02.50] |
