[00:21.71]
[00:22.36] A farmer there lived in the north country
[00:26.11] A hey ho bonny o
[00:29.45] He had daughters one, two, three
[00:33.05] The swans swim so bonny o
[00:37.42]
[00:37.53] These daughters they walked by the river's brim
[00:41.09] A hey ho bonny o
[00:44.46] The eldest pushed the youngest in
[00:47.92] The swans swim so bonny o
[00:52.06]
[00:58.98] Oh father, oh daddy, here swims a swan
[01:02.84] With a hey ho and a bonny o
[01:06.01] It's very like a gentle woman
[01:09.56] The swans swim so bonny o
[01:13.82]
[01:13.93] They placed her on the bank to dry
[01:17.50] With a hey ho and a bonny o
[01:20.85] There came a harper passing by
[01:24.47] The swans swim so bonny o
[01:30.90]
[01:31.05] ~ M U S I C ~
[01:57.80]
[01:57.92] He made harp pins of her fingers fair
[02:01.55] With a hey ho and a bonny o
[02:04.98] He made harp strings of her golden hair
[02:08.53] The swans swim so bonny o
[02:12.87]
[02:12.99] He made a harp of her breast bone
[02:16.65] With a hey ho and a bonny o
[02:20.03] And straight it began to play alone
[02:23.61] The swans swim so bonny o
[02:28.06]
[02:34.67] And there does sit my father the King
[02:38.35] With a hey ho and a bonny o
[02:41.84] And yonder sits my mother the Queen
[02:45.41] The swans swim so bonny o
[02:49.51]
[02:49.62] And there does sit my brother Hugh
[02:53.31] With a hey ho and a bonny o
[02:56.68] And by him William, sweet and true
[03:00.35] The swans swim so bonny o
[03:04.62]
[03:04.74] And there does sit my false sister, Anne
[03:08.36] With a hey ho and a bonny o
[03:11.62] Who drowned me for the sake of a man
[03:15.20] The swans swim so bonny o
[03:21.73]
[04:28.95]
