There was a lady lived in York
Lay the bend tae the
bonnie broom
Two daughters were the babes she bore
Fa la la la la la la la la
la
As one grew bright as is the sun, Lay...
So darker grew the elder one, fa
la...
A knight came riding to the lady's door
he traveled far to be the
wooer
He courted one with gloves and rings
But he loved the younger above all
things
Sister will you go with me
To watch the ships all on the sea
She
took her sister by the hand
And led her down to the North Sea strand
Long they stood
on the windy shore
The Darker threw her sister o'er
Sometimes she sank, sometimes
she swam
Crying, Sister, reach to me your hand
O Sister, Sister, let me
live
And all that's mine I'll surely give
It's your own true love that I'll have and
more
But thou shalt never come ashore
And there she floated like a swan
The
salt sea bore her body on
Some minstrels walked along the strand
And saw the maiden
float close to them
They made a harp of her breastbone
Whose sound would melt a heart of
stone
They took strands of her yellow hair
And with it strung their harp so
fair
They went into her father's hall
To play the harp before them
all
But as they laid it on a stone
The harp began to play alone
The first
string sang a doleful sound
The brighter, younger sister drownded
The second string
did then reply
In terror sits the black-haired bride
The first string sang beneath
the bow
And surely now the tears would flow
Child #10
