There lived a lady by the north sea shore
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
Twa daughters were the barns she born
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
One was as bright as is the sun
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
Saw coal black grew the elder one
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
A knight came riding to the ladies' door
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
He travelled far to be their woer
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
He courted one hand with gloves and rings
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
But he loved the other above all things
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
Sister, sister won't you walk with me
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
And see the ships sail upon the sea
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
And as they stood on that windy shore
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
The elder sister pushed the younger over
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
Sometimes she sank or sometimes she swam
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
Crying, "Sister, reach to me your hand"
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
And there she floated just like a swan
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
The salt sea carried her body on
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
Two minister are walking by the north sea strand
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
They saw the maiden, aye float to land
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
They made a harp out of her breast bone
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
The sound of which would melt a heart of stone
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
They took three locks of her yellow hair
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
And with them strung that harp so rare
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
The string that those minister tried
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
Then terror seized the black haired bride
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
The second string played a doleful sound
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
The younger sister, oh, she is drowned
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
The third string, it played beneath their bow
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
And surely now her tears will flow
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
Twa daughters were the barns she born
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
One was as bright as is the sun
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
Saw coal black grew the elder one
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
A knight came riding to the ladies' door
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
He travelled far to be their woer
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
He courted one hand with gloves and rings
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
But he loved the other above all things
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
Sister, sister won't you walk with me
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
And see the ships sail upon the sea
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
And as they stood on that windy shore
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
The elder sister pushed the younger over
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
Sometimes she sank or sometimes she swam
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
Crying, "Sister, reach to me your hand"
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
And there she floated just like a swan
Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom

Lay the barn tae the bonnie broom
And surely now her tears will flow
Fa-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
