There lived a lady by the North Sea shore

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

Two daughters were the babes she bore

Fa la la la la la la la la la

Alternating with each of the lines below

As one grew bright as is the sun

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

So coal black grew the elder one

Fa la la la la la la la la la

A knight came riding to the lady's door

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

He'd travelled far to be their wooer

Fa la la la la la la la la la

He courted one with gloves and rings

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

But he loved the other above all things

Fa la la la la la la la la la

Oh sister will you go with me

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

To watch the ships sail on the sea

Fa la la la la la la la la la

She took her sister by the hand

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

And led her down to

the North Sea strand

Fa la la la la la la la la la

And as they stood on the windy shore

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

The dark girl threw her sister o'er

Fa la la la la la la la la la

Sometimes she sank sometimes she swam

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

Crying Sister reach to me your hand

Fa la la la la la la la la la

Oh Sister Sister let me live

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

And all that's mine I'll surely give

Fa la la la la la la la la la

It's your own true love

that I'll have and more

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

But thou shalt never come ashore

Fa la la la la la la la la la

And there she floated like a swan

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

The salt sea bore her body on

Fa la la la la la la la la la

Two minstrels walked along the strand

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

And saw the maiden float to land

Fa la la la la la la la la la

They made a harp of her breastbone

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

Whose sound 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 bent to the bonnie broom

And with them strung the harp so rare

Fa la la la la la la la la la

They went into her father's hall

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

To play the harp before them all

Fa la la la la la la la la la

But when they laid it on a stone

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

The harp began to play alone

Fa la la la la la la la la la

The first string sang a doleful sound

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

The bride her younger sister drowned

Fa la la la la la la la la la

The second string as that they tried

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

In terror sits the black-haired bride

Fa la la la la la la la la la

The third string sang beneath their bow

Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

And surely now her tears will flow

Fa la la la la la la la la la
