The Bonnie Bonnie Banks Of The Virgio Chords & Lyrics - Misc Traditional

Three s[C]isters w[G]alked out [Am]one fine day,

[Am]All the lee and the l[C]onely-[Dm]o,

[Am] ([G] [Am])
They met a robber on the way,

On the b[C]onnie, bonnie b[G]anks of the [E7]Virgi[Am]o.

He took the first one by the hand,
All the lee and the lonely-o,
He whipped her 'round and he made her stand,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio.

Oh, will you be a robber's wife?
All the lee and the lonely-o,
Or will you die by my pen-knife,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio.

Oh, I'll not be a robber's wife,
All the lee and the lonely-o.
I'd rather die by your pen-knife,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio.

And so he took his wee pen-knife,
All the lee and the lonely-o,
And there he took her own dear life,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio.

(- Repeat for the second sister. -)

(- Then, repeat for the third, until her answer, which is below. -)

Oh, I'll not be a robber's wife,
All the lee and the lonely-o,
And I'll not die by your pen-knife.
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio.

Oh if my brothers had been here
All the lee and the lonely-o,
You wouldna' killed my sisters dear,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio.

Where are your brothers pray do tell
All the lee and the lonely-o,
One of them's a minister
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio.

And where is the other one pray do tell
All the lee and the lonely-o,
He's out a robbing like yourself
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio.

Oh, my God, what have I done,
All the lee and the lonely-o,
I've killed my sisters, all but one,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio.

And so he took his wee pen-knife,
All the lee and the lonely-o,
And there he took his own dear life,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio.
