kitty whately, anna tilbrook & max baillie - binnorie: a ballad كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
there were two sisters sat in a bower
binnorie, oh, binnorie
there came a knight to be their wooer
by the bonnie milldams of binnorie
he courted the eldest with glove and ring
binnorie, oh, binnorie
but he loved the youngest above all thing
oh, binnorie
the eldest she was vexed sair
binnorie, oh, binnorie
and sair envied her sistеr fair
by the bonnie milldams
the milldams of binnoriе

[verse 2]
upon a morning fair and clear
she cried upon her sister dear:
“oh, sister, sister, take my hand
and let’s go down to the river strand”
she’s taken her by the lily hand
binnorie, oh, binnorie
and led her down to the riverstrand
binnorie, oh, binnorie
the youngest stood upon a stone
binnorie, oh, binnorie
the eldest came and pushed her in
“oh, sister, sister, reach your hand
and you shall be heir of half my land
oh sister, reach me but your glove
and sweet william shall be your love”
[verse 3]
sometimes she sank, sometimes she swam
until she came to the miller’s dam
out then came the miller’s son
and saw the fair maid swimming in
“oh father, father, draw your dam
there’s either a mermaid or a milkwhite swan”
the miller hasted and drew his dam
and there he found a drowned woman

[verse 4]
you could see her middle sma’
her golden girdle was so bright
you could see her lily feet
her golden fringes were so deep
all among her yellow hair
a string of pearls was twisted rare
you could see her fingers sma’
with diamond rings they were covered all

[verse 5]
and by there came a harper fine
that harpist to the king at dine
and when he looked that lady on
he sighed and made a heavy moan
he’s made a harp of her breastbone
whose sound would melt a heart of stone
he’s taken three locks of her yellow hair
and with them strung his harp so rare
[verse 6]
he went into her father’s hall
and there was the court assembled all
he laid his harp upon a stone
and straight it began to play alone:
“oh, yonder sits my father, the king
binnorie, oh, binnorie
and yonder sits my mother, the queen
by the bonnie milldams of binnorie
and yonder stands my brother hugh
binnorie, oh, binnorie
and by him, my william, sweet and true
oh, binnorie
but the last tune that the harp played then
binnorie, oh, binnorie
was: “woe, woe to my sister, false helen”
by the bonnie milldams, the milldams
the bonnie milldams of binnorie
