A Farmer There Lived In The North Country,

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O

And He Had Daughters One, Two, Three,

The Swans Swim So Bonny O

These Daughters They Walked By The River's Brim

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O

The Eldest Pushed The Youngest In

The Swans Swim So Bonny O.



Oh Sister, Oh Sister, Pray Lend Me Your Hand

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O

And I Will Give You House And Land

The Swans Swim So Bonny O

I'll Give You Neither Hand Nor Glove

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O

Unless You Give Me Your Own True Love

The Swans Swim So Bonny O.



Sometimes She Sank, Sometimes She Swam

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O

Until She Came To A Miller's Dam

The Swans Swim So Bonny O

The Miller's Daughter, Dressed In Red

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O

She Went For Some Water To Make Her Bread

The Swans Swim So Bonny O.



O Father, O Daddy, Here Swims A Swan

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O

It's Very Like A Gentle Woman

The Swans Swim So Bonny O

They Laid Her On The Bank To Dry

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O

There Came A Harper Passing By

The Swans Swim So Bonny O.



He Made Harp Pins Of Her Fingers Fair

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O

He Made Harp Strings Of Her Golden Hair

The Swans Swim So Bonny O

He Made A Harp Of Her Breast Bone

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O

And Straight It Began To Play Alone

The Swans Swim So Bonny O.



He Brought It To Her Father's Hall

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O

And There Was The Court Assembled All

The Swans Swim So Bonny O

He Laid The Harp Upon The Stone

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O

And Straight It Began To Play Alone

The Swans Swim So Bonny O.



There Does Sit My Father, The King

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O

And Yonder Sits My Mother The Queen

The Swans Swim So Bonny O

And There Does Sit My Brother Hugh

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O

And By Him William, Sweet And True

The Swans Swim So Bonny O.



And There Does Sit My False Sister Anne

A Hey Ho And Me Bonny O
