Lyrics arr. and adapted by Loreena McKennitt

A farmer there lived in the north country
a hey ho bonny o
And he had daughters one, two, three
The swans swim so bonny o
These daughters they walked by the river's brim
The eldest pushed the youngest in
Oh sister, oh sister, pray lend me your hand
with a hey ho a bonny o
And I will give you house and land
I'll give you neither hand nor glove
Unless you give me your own true love
Sometimes she sank, sometimes she swam
with a hey ho and a bonny o
Until she came to a miller's dam
The miller's daughter, dressed in red
She went for some water to make some bread
Oh father, oh daddy, here swims a swan
It's very like a gentle woman
They placed her on the bank to dry
There came a harper passing by
He made harp pins of her fingers fair
He made harp strings of her golden hair
the swans swim so bonny o
He made a harp of her breast bone
And straight it began to play alone
He brought it to her father's hall
And there was the court, assembled all
He laid the harp upon a stone
And there does sit my father the King
And yonder sits my mother the Queen
And there does sit my brother Hugh
And by him William, sweet and true
And there does sit my false sister, Anne
Who drowned me for the sake of a man
