There were three ladies lived in a bower,
Eh vow bonnie, And they went out to pull a flower,
On the bonnie banks o' Fordie.
They hadna pu'ed a flower but ane, 5
Eh vow bonnie, "When up started to them a banisht man,
On the bonnie banks o' Fordie.
He's ta'en the first sister by her hand,
Eh vow bonnie, 1°
And he's turned her round and made her stand, On the bonnie banks o' Fordie.
" It's whether will ye be a rank robber's wife,
Eh vow bonnie, Or will ye die by my wee penknife," i«
On the bonnie banks o' Fordie ?
" It's I'll not be a rank robber's wife,
Eh vow bonnie, But I'll rather die by your wee penknife,"
On the bonnie banks o' Fordie. a>
He's killed this may and he's laid her by,'
Eh vow bonnie, For to bear the red rose company,
On the bonnie banks o' Fordie. |
