• The Cruel Sister

There lived a lady by the north sea shore
Lay the bent to the bonnie broom
Two daughters were the bairns she bore
Fa la la la la la la la la la

As one grew bright even like the sun
Lay the bent to the bonnie broom
Sae 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 bent to the bonnie broom
He travelled far to be their wooer
Fa la la la la la la la la la

He courted one, aye 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 she led her down to the north sea strand
Fa la la la la la la la la la

While they stood there on the 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, land 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 what's mine, I'll surely give"
Fa la la la la la la la la la

"Your own true love that I'll have and more
Lay the bent to the bonnie broom
But thou shall never come a shore(?)
Fa la la la la la la la la la

And as she floated just like a swan
Lay the bent to the bonnie broom
The salt sea bord her body on
Fa la la la la la la la la la

Two minstrels walked upon the strand
Lay the bent to the bonnie broom
And they watched the maiden, float to land
Fa la la la la la la la la la

They've made a harp out of her breast bone
Lay the bent to the bonnie broom
Who 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 that harp so rare
Fa la la la la la la la la la

They've gone into her father's home
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 the 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 it awful sound
Lay the bent to the bonnie broom
"The brighter younger sister drowned"
Fa la la la la la la la la la

The second string sang as they tried
Lay the bent to the bonnie broom
In terror sists 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
