The Bonny Swans Loreena McKennitt

A farmer there lived in the north country
A hey ho and me bonny-o
And he had daughters one, two, three
The swans swim so bonny-o
These daughters they walked by the river's brim
A hey ho and me bonny-o
The eldest pushed the youngest in
The swans swim so bonny-o

Oh sister, oh sister, pray lend me your hand
A hey ho and me bonny-o
And I will give you house and land
The swans swim so bonny-o
I'll give you neither hand nor glove
A hey ho and me bonny-o
Unless you give me your own true love
The swans swim so bonny-o

Sometimes she sank, sometimes she swam
A hey ho and me bonny-o
Until she came to a miller's dam
The swans swim so bonny-o
The miller's daughter, dressed in red
A hey ho and me bonny-o
She went for some water to make her bread
The swans swim so bonny-o
