Tears for Beers
Cruel Sisters
Lived a lady by the north sea shoreLay the band tae the bonny broomTwo daughters wear the beirn she boreFa la la la la la laOne she was bright as the sunSo coalblack grew the elder oneA knight came right into the ladies doorHe travelled far for to be their woreHe courted one ay with gloves and ringBut he loved the other above all thingsCome sister, sister want you go with meAnd see the ship'sail upon the seaAnd as they stood on that windy shoreThe elder sister pushed the younger offTwo minstrels walking down the north sea strandThey found the maiden afloat at landThey made a harp out of her breast boneThe sound of which would melt heart of stoneThey took three locks of her yellow hairAnd weeded strings for that harp so rareAll the things played beneath the boneAnd surely know, her tears will flow
