[00:01.68]There lived a lady by the North Sea shore
[00:07.86] (Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)
[00:10.32] Two daughters were the babes she bore
[00:13.86] (Fa la la la la la la la la la)
[00:17.58] alternating with each of the lines below>
[00:19.53] As one grew bright as is the sun,
[00:28.23] So coal black grew the elder one.
[00:46.02] A knight came riding to the lady's door,
[00:54.84] He'd travelled far to be their wooer.
[00:59.07] He courted one with gloves and rings,
[01:12.72] But he loved the other above all things.
[01:39.78] Oh sister will you go with me
[01:48.63] To watch the ships sail on the sea?
[01:57.60] She took her sister by the hand
[02:06.60] And led her down to the North Sea strand.
[02:24.15] And as they stood on the windy shore
[02:33.00] The dark girl threw her sister o'er.
[02:36.48] Sometimes she sank, sometimes she swam,
[02:50.70] Crying, "Sister, reach to me your hand!
[02:55.14] "Oh Sister, Sister, let me live,
[03:04.95] And all that's mine I'll surely give."
[03:11.40] "(It's) your own true love that I'll have and more,
[03:22.92] But thou shalt never come ashore."
[03:35.25] And there she floated like a swan,
[03:41.82] The salt sea bore her body on.
[04:10.77] Two minstrels walked along the strand
[04:19.20] And saw the maiden float to land.
[04:36.30] They made a harp of her breastbone,
[04:36.99] Whose sound would melt a heart of stone.
[04:45.75] They took three locks of her yellow hair,
[04:54.54] And with them strung the harp so rare.
[05:20.94] They went into her father's hall
[05:24.33] To play the harp before them all,
[05:39.06] But when they laid it on a stone
[05:49.47] The harp began to play alone.
[06:04.32] The first string sang a doleful sound:
[06:13.20] "The bride her younger sister drowned."
[06:21.96] The second string as that they tried,
[06:25.65] In terror sits the black-haired bride.
[06:39.48] The third string sang beneath their bow,
[06:45.57] "And surely now her tears will flow
