If you don't answer my questions nine
Sing ninety-nine
and ninety,
I'll take you off to hell alive, And you are the weaver's bonny.
What is
whiter than milk?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety;
What is softer than silk?
Say
you're the weaver's bonny."
Snow is whiter than milk,
Sing ninety-nine and
ninety;
Down is softer than silk,
And I'm the weaver's bonny."
What is louder than
a horn?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety;
What is sharper than a thorn?
Sing I am the
weaver's bonny.
Thunder's louder than a horn,
Sing ninety-nine and ninety ;
Death
is sharper than a thorn,
Sing I'm the weaver's bonny.
What is higher than a
tree?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety;
What is deeper than the sea?
Sing I'm the
weaver's bonny.
Heaven's higher than a tree,
Sing ninety-nine and ninety;
And
hell is deeper than the sea,
Sing I'm the weaver's bonny.
What is innocenter than a
lamb?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety;
What is worse than woman kind?
Say I'm the
weaver's bonny.
A babe is innocenter than a lamb,
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
;
The devil's worse than woman kind,
Sing I'm the weaver's bonny."
You have
answered me questions nine,
Sing ninety-nine and ninety;
You are God's, you're not my
own,
And you're the weaver's bonny."
