The Bonny Swans A farmer there lived in the north country A hey ho bonny o And he had daughters one, two, three The swans swim so bonny o These daughters they walked by the rivers brim A hey ho bonny o The eldest pushed the youngest in The swans swim so bonny o Oh sister, oh sister, pray lend me your hand With a hey ho a bonny o And I will give you house and land The swans swim so bonny o Ill give you neither hand nor glove With a hey ho a bonny o Unless you give me your own true love The swans swim so bonny o Sometimes she sank, sometimes she swam With a hey ho and a bonny o Until she came to a millers dam The swans swim so bonny o The millers daughter, dressed in red With a hey ho and a bonny o She went for some water to make some bread The swans swim so bonny o Oh father, oh daddy, here swims a swan With a hey ho and a bonny o Its very like a gentle woman The swans swim so bonny o They placed her on the bank to dry With a hey ho and a bonny o There came a harper passing by The swans swim so bonny o He made harp pins of her fingers fair With a hey ho and a bonny o He made harp strings of her golden hair The swans swim so bonny o He made a harp of her breast bone With a hey ho and a bonny o And straight it began to play alone The swans swim so bonny o He brought it to her fathers hall With a hey ho and a bonny o And there was the court, assembled all The swans swim so bonny o He laid the harp upon a stone With a hey ho and a bonny o And straight it began to play lone The swans swim so bonny o And there does sit my father the King With a hey ho and a bonny o And yonder sits my mother the Queen The swans swim so bonny o And there does sit my brother Hugh With a hey ho and a bonny o And by him William, sweet and true The swans swim so bonny o And there does sit my false sister, Anne With a hey ho and a bonny o Who drowned me for the sake of a man The swans swim so bonny o youtu.be/oLnKdNJK5D8
