Tears For Beers - Cruel Sisters Lyrics

Lived a lady by the north sea shore lay the band tae the bonny broom two daughters wear the beirn she bore fa la la la la la la One she was bright as the sun so coalblack grew the elder one A knight came right into the ladies door he travelled far for to be their wore He courted one ay with gloves and ring but he loved the other above all things Come sister, sister want you go with me and see the ship'sail upon the sea And as they stood on that windy shore the elder sister pushed the younger off Two minstrels walking down the north sea strand they found the maiden afloat at land they made a harp out of her breast bone the sound of which would melt heart of stone They took three locks of her yellow hair and weeded strings for that harp so rare All the things played beneath the bone and surely know, her tears will flow Tears For Beers Lyrics Cruel Sisters Lyrics
