The Wicked Sister Lyrics

	作曲 : Conor O'Reilly/Méav
	A mother lived by the North Sea shore
	Daughters were the babes she bore
	One grew radiant as the sun
	Darkly grew the elder one

	A knight came riding to their door
	He travelled far to be their wooer
	He courted both with gold and rings
	But loved the younger o'er all things

	"Sister, won't you walk with me
	To watch the ships sail o'er the sea?"
	As they walked the rocky shore
	The dark one pushed her sister o'er

	"Sister, sister, let me live
	All that's mine I'll surely give"
	"Thy bridegroom I will take and more
	But thou shalt never come ashore"

	Off she floated like a swan
	The salt sea bore her body on
	You could not see her lily feet
	Her golden fringes were so deep

	A minstrel walking by the strand
	Saw her body float to land
	When he looked that lady on
	He sighed and made a heavy moan

	He made a harp of her breastbone
	Whose sound would melt a heart of stone
	Took the strands of her bright hair
	And with them strung his harp so rare

	He brought the harp to the wedding hall
	There to play before them all
	When they set it on a stone
	The harp began to play alone

	The strings sang out a dreadful sound
	"The bride her younger sister drowned
	Now her secret you all know
	Her guilty tears will surely flow"
