[00:01.189]There lived a lady by the North Sea shore
[00:06.152](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[00:10.175]Two daughters were the babes she bore
[00:15.112](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[00:19.292]As one grew bright as is the sun,
[00:24.046](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[00:28.173]So coal black grew the elder one.
[00:33.006](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[00:38.466]
[00:46.172]A knight came riding to the lady's door,
[00:50.769](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[00:54.740]He'd travelled far to be their wooer.
[00:59.677](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[01:03.935]He courted one with gloves and rings,
[01:08.663](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[01:12.660]But he loved the other above all things.
[01:17.597](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[01:21.803]
[01:39.827]Oh sister will you go with me
[01:44.529](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[01:48.657]To watch the ships sail on the sea?
[01:53.489](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[01:57.747]She took her sister by the hand
[02:02.345](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[02:06.603]And led her down to the North Sea strand.
[02:11.357](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[02:16.529]
[02:24.366]And as they stood on the windy shore
[02:29.016](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[02:33.248]The dark girl threw her sister o'er.
[02:37.819](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[02:42.182]Sometimes she sank, sometimes she swam,
[02:46.622](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[02:50.724]Crying, "Sister, reach to me your hand!"
[02:55.687](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[02:59.919]"Oh Sister, Sister, let me live,"
[03:04.360](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[03:08.487]And all that's mine I'll surely give."
[03:13.320](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[03:17.342]"(It's) your own true love that I'll have and more, “
[03:22.227](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[03:26.355]But thou shalt never come ashore."
[03:31.083](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[03:35.602]And there she floated like a swan,
[03:39.912](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[03:44.013]The salt sea bore her body on.
[03:48.794](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[03:53.574]
[04:10.554]Two minstrels walked along the strand
[04:15.178](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[04:19.357]And saw the maiden float to land.
[04:24.059](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[04:28.474]They made a harp of her breastbone,
[04:32.967](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[04:37.068]Whose sound would melt a heart of stone.
[04:41.849](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[04:45.898]They took three locks of her yellow hair,
[04:50.521](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[04:54.805]And with them strung the harp so rare.
[04:59.429](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[05:03.765]
[05:20.640]They went into her father's hall
[05:25.760](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[05:29.836]To play the harp before them all,
[05:34.407](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[05:38.613]But when they laid it on a stone
[05:43.236](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[05:47.338]The harp began to play alone.
[05:51.883](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[05:56.089]
[06:04.761]The first string sang a doleful sound:
[06:09.150](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[06:13.538]"The bride her younger sister drowned." “
[06:18.084](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[06:22.237]The second string as that they tried,
[06:26.861](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[06:31.040]In terror sits the black-haired bride.
[06:35.638](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[06:39.791]The third string sang beneath their bow,
[06:44.415](Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[06:48.438]"And surely now her tears will flow" “
[06:53.062](Fa la la la la la la la la la) (♪)
[06:57.267]
