lirik lagu loreena mckennitt – 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 river’s 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
i’ll 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 miller’s dam
the swans swim so bonny o
the miller’s 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
it’s 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 p-ssing 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 ohe 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 father’s hall
with a hey ho and a bonny o
and there was the court, -ssembled 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
