The Cruel Sister Old Blind Dogs

[Verse 1]
There lived a lady by the North Sea shore
Lay the bairn tae the bonnie broom
Twa dothers were the bairns she bore
Faa lala la la lala laa la laa

[Verse 2]
One was as bright as is the sun
Lay the bairn tae the bonnie broom
Sae coal black grew the elder one
Faa lala la la lala laa la laa

[Verse 3]
A knight came riding to the ladies' door
Lay the bairn tae the bonnie broom
He travelled far tae be their wooer
Faa lala la la lala laa la laa

[Verse 4]
He courted one, aye wi gloves and rings
Lay the bairn tae the bonnie broom
But he loved the other above all things
Faa lala la la lala laa la laa

[Verse 5]
"Sister, sister, won't you walk with me
Lay the bairn tae the bonnie broom
And see the ships sail upon the sea?"
Faa lala la la lala laa la laa
