Banks of Fordie Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
And they've not pulled a flower but one
Oh I am so bonnie
Till by there came an outlaw man
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
And it's will you be a bank robber's wife?
Oh I am so bonnie
Or will you die with my little pen knife
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie?

[Verse 5]
Oh I'll not be a bank robber's wife
Oh I am so bonnie
But I'd sooner die with your little pen knife
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

[Verse 6]
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

[Verse 7]
Oh will you be a bank robber's wife?
Oh I am so bonnie
Or will you die with my little pen knife
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie?

[Verse 8]
Oh it's I'll not be a bank robber's wife
Oh I am so bonnie
But I'd sooner die with your little pen knife
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie

[Verse 9]
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

[Verse 10]
Turn 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

[Verse 11]
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

[Verse 12]
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

[Verse 13]
They've thrown him into a poisoned lake
Oh I am so bonnie
To feed all the toads and the rattlesnakes
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Fordie
