《Cruel Sister》歌词

[00:00:01] There lived a lady by the North Sea shore

[00:00:06] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:00:10] Two daughters were the babes she bore

[00:00:15] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:00:19] Alternating with each of the lines below

[00:00:21] As one grew bright as is the sun

[00:00:24] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:00:28] So coal black grew the elder one

[00:00:33] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:00:46] A knight came riding to the lady's door

[00:00:50] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:00:54] He'd travelled far to be their wooer

[00:00:59] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:01:04] He courted one with gloves and rings

[00:01:08] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:01:12] But he loved the other above all things

[00:01:17] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:01:40] Oh sister will you go with me

[00:01:44] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:01:48] To watch the ships sail on the sea

[00:01:53] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:01:57] She took her sister by the hand

[00:02:02] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:02:06] And led her down to

[00:02:09] The North Sea strand

[00:02:11] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:02:24] And as they stood on the windy shore

[00:02:29] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:02:33] The dark girl threw her sister o'er

[00:02:37] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:02:42] Sometimes she sank sometimes she swam

[00:02:46] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:02:50] Crying Sister reach to me your hand

[00:02:55] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:02:59] Oh Sister Sister let me live

[00:03:04] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:03:08] And all that's mine I'll surely give

[00:03:13] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:03:17] It's your own true love

[00:03:19] That I'll have and more

[00:03:22] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:03:26] But thou shalt never come ashore

[00:03:31] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:03:35] And there she floated like a swan

[00:03:40] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:03:43] The salt sea bore her body on

[00:03:49] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:04:10] Two minstrels walked along the strand

[00:04:15] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:04:19] And saw the maiden float to land

[00:04:24] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:04:28] They made a harp of her breastbone

[00:04:33] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:04:36] Whose sound would melt a heart of stone

[00:04:41] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:04:45] They took three locks of her yellow hair

[00:04:50] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:04:54] And with them strung the harp so rare

[00:04:59] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:05:21] They went into her father's hall

[00:05:25] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:05:29] To play the harp before them all

[00:05:34] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:05:38] But when they laid it on a stone

[00:05:43] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:05:47] The harp began to play alone

[00:05:51] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:06:04] The first string sang a doleful sound

[00:06:09] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:06:13] The bride her younger sister drowned

[00:06:17] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:06:22] The second string as that they tried

[00:06:26] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:06:30] In terror sits the black-haired bride

[00:06:35] Fa la la la la la la la la la

[00:06:39] The third string sang beneath their bow

[00:06:44] Lay the bent to the bonnie broom

[00:06:48] And surely now her tears will flow

[00:06:52] Fa la la la la la la la la la
