Текст песни: Banks Of Fordie + перевод

Oh there were two sisters lived in a bower

Oh I am so bonnie

They’ve gone out for to pull all the flowers

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

And they’ve not pulled a flower but one

Oh I am so bonnie

'til by there came an outlaw man

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

And he’s taken the eldest by her hand

Oh I am so bonnie

Turned her around and he made her stand

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

And it’s will you be a bankrobber’s wife?

Oh I am so bonnie

Or will you die with my little pen knife?

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

Oh I’ll not be a bankrobber’s wife

Oh I am so bonnie

But I’d sooner die with your little pen knife

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

So he’s taken the second girl by her hand

Oh I am so bonnie

Turned her around and he made her stand

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

Oh will you be a bankrobber’s wife?

Oh I am so bonnie

Or will you die with my little pen knife?

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

Oh it’s I’ll not be a bankrobber’s wife

Oh I am so bonnie

But I’d sooner die with your little pen knife

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

But her own brother John come riding by

Oh I am so bonnie

And this bold robber he chanced to spy

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

And he’s gone up to his sister fair

Oh I am so bonnie

Taken her up by her long yellow hair

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

And he’s sent out his page-boys three

Oh I am so bonnie

They took this robber most speedily

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

And it’s for my sister that you shall die

Oh I am so bonnie

They’ve hanged him up on the gallows high

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

They’d thrown him into a poisoned lake

Oh I am so bonnie

To feed all the toads and the rattle-snakes

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie
