Loading...

there were three sisters lived in a ha’
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
by cam a knicht and he woo’d them a’
and the rose is aye the redder aye

and the first ane she was dressed in green
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
“would ye fancy me and be my queen?”
and the rose is aye the redder aye

and the second ane she was dressed in yellow
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
“would ye fancy me and be my marrow?”
and the rose is aye the redder aye

and the first ane she was dressed in red
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
“would ye fancy me and be my bride?”
and the rose is aye the redder aye

“ye may seek me frae my faither dear
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
and frae my mither wha’ did me bear
and the rose is aye the redder aye

“ye may seek me frae my sister anne
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
and dinna forget my brither john.”
and the rose is aye the redder aye

and he socht her frae her faither, the king
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
and he socht her frae her mither, the queen
and the rose is aye the redder aye

and he socht her frae her sister anne
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
but forgot tae speir at her brither john
and the rose is aye the redder aye

and her mither dressed her in her gown
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
and her sister tied the flounces ’round
and the rose is aye the redder aye

her faither mounted her on her horse
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
and her brither led her doon the close
and the rose is aye the redder aye

and he’s ta’en a knife baith lang and sharp
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
and he’s pierced the bonnie bride through the heart
and the rose is aye the redder aye

“oh, lead me, lead me up yon hill
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
and there i’ll sit and mak’ my will.”
and the rose is aye the redder aye

“what will ye leave tae your faither dear?”
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
“the bonnie white steed that brocht me here.”
and the rose is aye the redder aye

“what will ye leave tae your mither dear?”
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
“the bl–dy robes that i do wear.”
and the rose is aye the redder aye

“what will ye leave tae your sister anne?”
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
“the gowden ring frae off my hand.”
and the rose is aye the redder aye

“what will ye leave tae your brither john?”
hech, hey, and the lily g-y
“the gallows tree for tae hang him on.”
and the rose is aye the redder aye
