Lyrics to The Cruel Brother
The Cruel Brother Video:
Thair were three sisters lived in a haa Hie the rose an the lily gay An it's doun cam a knight an he courted them aa An the rose is aye the reider aye The first ane she was dressed in red "Wad ye come wi me an be ma bride?" An the saicont ane wis dressed in green "Wad ye come wi me an be ma queen?" The third ane she was dressed in white "Wad ye cam wi me an be ma bride?" "It's ye maun ask ma faither the king An it's ye maun ask ma mither the queen" "An ye maun ask ma sister Anne Bit mind ye o ma brither John" Sae he has asked her faither the king An he has asked her mither the queen An he has asked her sister Anne Bit he forgot her brither John Her faither he led her thro the haa An her mither she danced afore thaim aa Her sister Anne led her thro the close An her brither John helped her on her horse Then it's he's taen out his wee penknife An thair he's twined her o her life As we cam by St Evron's well She daurstnae light tae drink her fill An as we cam by St Evron's close Our bonnie bride she fell aff her horse "An it's whit will ye leave tae yer faither the king?" "The bonnie steed that A ride on" "An whit will ye leave tae yer mither the queen?" "The bluidy robes that A lie in" "An whit will ye leave tae yer sister Anne?" "Ma guidlord tae be her man" "An it's whit will ye leave tae yer brither John?" "The rope an the halter tae hing him on"
