There were twa sisters sat in a bour	A
Binnorie O Binnorie	A
There cam a knight to be their wooer	A
By the bonnie milldams o' Binnorie	A
	-
He courted the eldest with glove and ring	B
But he lo'ed the youngest abune a thing	B
	-
The eldest she was vex egrave d sair	A
And sair env igrave ed her sister fair	A
	-
Upon a morning fair and clear	A
She cried upon her sister dear	A
	-
'O sister sister tak my hand	C
And let 's go down to the river strand '	-
	-
She 's ta'en her by the lily hand	C
And led her down to the river strand	C
	-
The youngest stood upon a stane	D
The eldest cam and push'd her in	D
	-
'O sister sister reach your hand	C
And ye sall be heir o' half my land	C
	-
'O sister reach me but your glove	E
And sweet William sall be your love '	-
	-
Sometimes she sank sometimes she swam	F
Until she cam to the miller's dam	F
	-
Out then cam the miller's son	D
And saw the fair maid soummin' in	D
	-
'O father father draw your dam	F
There 's either a mermaid or a milk white swan '	-
	-
The miller hasted and drew his dam	F
And there he found a drown'd wom egrave n	D
	-
You couldna see her middle sma'	F
Her gowden girdle was sae braw	A
	-
You couldna see her lily feet	G
Her gowden fringes were sae deep	H
	-
All amang her yellow hair	A
A string o' pearls was twisted rare	A
	-
You couldna see her fingers sma'	F
Wi' diamond rings they were cover'd a'	I
	-
And by there cam a harper fine	D
That harpit to the king at dine	D
	-
And when he look'd that lady on	D
He sigh'd and made a heavy moan	D
	-
He 's made a harp of her breast bane	D
Whose sound wad melt a heart of stane	D
	-
He 's ta'en three locks o' her yellow hair	A
And wi' them strung his harp sae rare	A
	-
He went into her father's hall	J
And there was the court assembled all	J
	-
He laid his harp upon a stane	D
And straight it began to play by lane	D
	-
'O yonder sits my father the King	B
And yonder sits my mother the Queen	D
	-
'And yonder stands my brother Hugh	K
And by him my William sweet and true '	-
	-
But the last tune that the harp play'd then	D
Binnorie O Binnorie	A
Was 'Woe to my sister false Hel egrave n '	-
By the bonnie milldams o' Binnorie	A
