Three sisters walked out one fine day, |
(- Then, repeat for the third, until her answer, which is below. -) Oh, I'll not be a robber's wife, All the lee and the lonely-o, And I'll not die by your pen-knife. On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio. For you have killed my sisters dear, All the lee and he lonely-o, You wouldna' done that if me brother was here, On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio. Oh, pray, what does your brother do, All the lee and the lonely-o, Why, he's a robber just like you. On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio. Oh, my God, what have I done, All the lee and the lonely-o, I've killed my sisters, all but one, On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio. And so he took his wee pen-knife, All the lee and the lonely-o, And there he took his own dear life, On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio. |
