There lived a lady on the North Sea shore
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
She had two daghters that she adored
Fa la la la la la la la la la
The youngest daughter born to sweet delight
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
The eldest daughter born to greed and spite
Fa la la la la la la la la la
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
He was promised the young girl's hand
Fa la la la la la la la la la
Grimmest envy in the elder grew
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
She planned to steal her sister's lover true
Fa la la la la la la la la la
"Oh darling sister won't you come with me"
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
"To watch the swans swimming in the sea?"
Fa la la la la la la la la la
On the rocks were the mermaids sing
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
The elder sister pushed the younger in
Fa la la la la la la la la la
"Oh cruel sister, please let me live"
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
"And all that's mine to you I'll give"
Fa la la la la la la la la la
"I'll take your true love and I'll take more"
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
"For I never let you come ashore"
Fa la la la la la la la la la
The fair girl drowned beneath the North Sea foam
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
Her broken body washed upon the stones
Fa la la la la la la la la la
Three witches found her in the dead of night
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
And wove a spell to put her soul at right
Fa la la la la la la la la la
They made a harp out of her skin and bone
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
The tuning pegs made from her finger bones
Fa la la la la la la la la la
They took nine locks of her golden hair
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
And with them strung the harp so rare
Fa la la la la la la la la la
The took the harp on to her mother's hall
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
And set it down to play bevore them all
Fa la la la la la la la la la
The harp of Death began to play alone
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
The sweetest song to melt a heart of stone
Fa la la la la la la la la la
Golden strings rang out a truthful sound
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
The elder sister has the younger drowned
Fa la la la la la la la la la
Strings of sorrowmade of golden curls
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
Wreak their vengeance on the black-haired girl
Fa la la la la la la la la la
The song ends heere dark and low
Lay te bent to the bonnie broom
And surely now her blood will flow
Fa la la la la la la la la la
