[00:00:26] Music by Loreena McKennitt

[00:00:31] Lyrics arr. and adapted by Loreena McKennitt

[00:00:41] A farmer there lived in the north country

[00:00:44] a hey ho bonny o

[00:00:47] And he had daughters one, two, three

[00:00:51] The swans swim so bonny o

[00:00:55] These daughters they walked by the river's brim

[00:00:58] a hey ho bonny o

[00:01:02] The eldest pushed the youngest in

[00:01:05] The swans swim so bonny o

[00:01:16] Oh sister, oh sister, pray lend me your hand

[00:01:20] with a hey ho a bonny o

[00:01:23] And I will give you house and land

[00:01:27] the swans swim so bonny o

[00:01:31] I'll give you neither hand nor glove

[00:01:34] with a hey ho a bonny o

[00:01:38] Unless you give me your own true love

[00:01:41] the swans swim so bonny o

[00:01:59] Sometimes she sank, sometimes she swam

[00:02:02] with a hey ho and a bonny o

[00:02:06] Until she came to a miller's dam

[00:02:09] the swans swim so bonny o

[00:02:13] The miller's daughter, dressed in red

[00:02:17] with a hey ho and a bonny o

[00:02:20] She went for some water to make some bread

[00:02:23] the swans swim so bonny o

[00:02:35] Oh father, oh daddy, here swims a swan

[00:02:38] with a hey ho and a bonny o

[00:02:41] It's very like a gentle woman

[00:02:45] the swans swim so bonny o

[00:02:49] They placed her on the bank to dry

[00:02:52] with a hey ho and a bonny o

[00:02:56] There came a harper passing by

[00:02:59] the swans swim so bonny o

[00:03:32] He made harp pins of her fingers fair

[00:03:36] with a hey ho and a bonny o

[00:03:39] He made harp strings of her golden hair

[00:03:43] the swans swim so bonny o

[00:03:47] He made a harp of her breast bone

[00:03:50] with a hey ho and a bonny o

[00:03:54] And straight it began to play alone

[00:03:57] the swans swim so bonny o

[00:04:08] He brought it to her father's hall

[00:04:11] with a hey ho and a bonny o

[00:04:15] And there was the court, assembled all

[00:04:18] the swans swim so bonny o

[00:04:22] He laid the harp upon a stone

[00:04:26] with a hey ho and a bonny o

[00:04:29] And straight it began to play alone

[00:04:33] the swans swim so bonny o

[00:04:51] And there does sit my father the King

[00:04:54] with a hey ho and a bonny o

[00:04:57] And yonder sits my mother the Queen

[00:05:01] the swans swim so bonny o

[00:05:05] And there does sit my brother Hugh

[00:05:08] with a hey ho and a bonny o

[00:05:12] And by him William, sweet and true

[00:05:15] the swans swim so bonny o

[00:05:19] And there does sit my false sister, Anne

[00:05:23] with a hey ho and a bonny o

[00:05:26] Who drowned me for the sake of a man

[00:05:30] the swans swim so bonny o

[00:07:08] END
