there lived an old lord - jean ritchie lyrics
there lived an old lord by the northern sea
bowee down
there lived an old lord by the northern sea
bow and balance to me
there lived an old lord by the northern sea
and he had daughters one, two, three
i’ll be true to my love
if my love will be true to me
a young man came a*courting there
bowee down
a young man came a*courting there
bow and balance to me;
a young man came a*courting there
and he madе choice of the youngest fair
i’ll bе true to my love
if my love will be true to me
her true love he bought her a beaver hat
bowee down
her true love he bought her a beaver hat
bow and balance to me;
her true love he bought her a beaver hat
the eldest one did not like that
i’ll be true to my love
if my love will be true to me
“o sister, o sister, let’s walk the seashore
bowee down
o sister, o sister, let’s walk the seashore
bow and balance to me;
o sister, o sister, let’s walk the seashore
and see the ships a*sailing o’er.”
i’ll be true to my love
if my love will be true to me
as they were walking along the seashore
bowee down
as they were walking along the seashore
bow and balance to me;
as they were walking along the seashore
the eldest pushed the youngest o’er
i’ll be true to my love
if my love will be true to me
“o sister, o sister, please lend me your hand
bowee down
o sister, o sister, please lend me your hand
bow and balance to me;
o sister, o sister, please lend me your hand
and i will bring you to dry land
i’ll be true to my love
if my love will be true to me
i neither will lend you my right hand
bowee down
i neither will lend you my right hand
bow and balance to me;
i neither will lend you hand nor glove
for all you want is my true love
i’ll be true to my love
if my love will be true to me
she bowed her head and away she swam
bowee down
she bowed her head and away she swam
bow and balance to me;
she bowed her head and away she swam
she swam till she came to the miller’s dam
i’ll be true to my love
if my love will be true to me
the miller threw out his drifting hook
bowee down
the miller threw out his drifting hook
bow and balance to me;
the miller threw out his drifting hook
he drew this maiden to the brook
i’ll be true to my love
if my love will be true to me
and off her fingers took five gold rings
bowee down
and off her fingers took five gold rings
bow and balance to me;
and off he, fingers took five gold rings
then into the water he plunged her again
i’ll be true to my love, if my love will be true to me
the miller was hung at his own mill door
bowee down
the miller was hung at his own mill door
bow and balance to me;
the miller was hung at his own mill door
for bringing this maiden to the shore
i’ll be true to my love
if my love will be true to me
the sister was hung at her own yard gate
bowee down
the sister was hung at her own yard gate
bow and balance to me;
the sister was hung at her own yard gate
for drowning of her sister kate
i’ll be true to my love
if my love will be true to me
