The Cruel Sister
Old Blind Dogs

There lived a lady by the north sea shorenLay the bairn tae the bonnie broomnTwa daughters were the bairns she borenFa la la la la la la la la lannOne was as bright as is the sunnLay the bairn tae the bonnie broomnSae coal black grew the elder onenFa la la la la la la la la lannA knight came riding to the ladies' doornLay the bairn tae the bonnie broomnHe travelled far to be their wooernFa la la la la la la la la lannHe courted one, aye with gloves and ringsnLay the bairn tae the bonnie broomnBut he loved the other above all thingsnFa la la la la la la la la lannSister, sister won't you walk with menLay the bairn tae the bonnie broomnAn' see the ships sail upon sea?nFa la la la la la la la la lannAnd as they stood on that windy shorenLay the bairn tae the bonnie broomnThe elder sister pushed the younger o'ernFa la la la la la la la la lannSometimes she sank or sometimes she swamnLay the bairn tae the bonnie broomnCrying, Sister, reach to me your handnFa la la la la la la la la lannAnd there she floated just like a swannLay the bairn tae the bonnie broomnThe salt sea carried her body onnFa la la la la la la la la lannTwo minstrels walking by the north sea strandnLay the bairn tae the bonnie broomnThey saw the maiden, aye float to landnFa la la la la la la la la lannThey made a harp out of her breast bonenLay the bairn tae the bonnie broomnThe sound of which would melt a heart of stonenFa la la la la la la la la lannThey took three locks of her yellow hairnLay the bairn tae the bonnie broomnAnd wi' them strung that harp so rarenFa la la la la la la la la lannThe first string that those minstrels triednLay the bairn tae the bonnie broomnThen terror seized the black-haired bridenFa la la la la la la la la lannThe second string played a doleful soundnLay the bairn tae the bonnie broomnThe younger sister, oh she is drownednFa la la la la la la la la lannThe third string, it played beneath their bownLay the bairn tae the bonnie broomnAnd surely now her tears will flownFa la la la la la la la la la
