The Bonny Swans - Live At The Alhambra Palace, Granada, Spain/2006

A farmer there lived in the north country
A-hey-ho and me bonny-o
He had daughters, one, two, three
The swans swim so bonny-o

These daughters they walked by the river's brim
A-hey-ho and me bonny-o
The eldest pushed the youngest in
The swans swim so bonny-o

Oh father, oh daughter, here swims a swan
A-hey-ho and me bonny-o
It's very like a gentle woman
The swans swim so bonny-o

He laid her on the bank to dry
A-hey-ho and me bonny-o
There came a harper passing by
The swans swim so bonny-o

He made harp pins of her fingers fair
A-hey-ho and me bonny-o
He made harp strings of her golden hair
The swans swim so bonny-o

He made a harp of her breastbone
A-hey-ho and me bonny-o
And straight it began to play alone
The swans swim so bonny-o

And there does sit my father the King
A-hey-ho and me bonny-o
And yonder sits my mother the Queen
The swans swim so bonny-o

And there does sit my brother Hugh
A-hey-ho and me bonny-o
And by him William, sweet and true
The swans swim so bonny-o

And there does sit my false sister, Anne
A-hey-ho and me bonny-o
And drowned me for the sake of a man
The swans swim so bonny-o
