A farmer there lived in the north country A hey ho 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 bonny o The eldest pushed the youngest in The swans swim so bonny o
Oh father, oh daddy, here swims a swan With a hey ho and a bonny o It's very like a gentle woman The swans swim so bonny o
They placed her on the bank to dry With a hey ho and a bonny o There came a harper passing by The swans swim so bonny o
~ M U S I C ~
He made harp pins of her fingers fair With a hey ho and a bonny o He made harp strings of her golden hair The swans swim so bonny o
He made a harp of her breast bone With a hey ho and a bonny o And straight it began to play alone The swans swim so bonny o
And there does sit my father the King With a hey ho and a bonny o And yonder sits my mother the Queen The swans swim so bonny o
And there does sit my brother Hugh With a hey ho and a bonny o And by him William, sweet and true The swans swim so bonny o
And there does sit my false sister, Anne With a hey ho and a bonny o Who drowned me for the sake of a man The swans swim so bonny o
