And the sun goes over the woods And the sun goes over the woods There was a sister and her brother And they did so love oneaAnother O Sister I'd lay ye down O sister we'll gang to the broom O Brother would you do so For to my death I'd rather The folk they talk hey talk together About a lass with bairn to her brother O Brother you've done me ill And we'll both burn on yon hill O Sister go - go to my Father's stables And take twa horses stout and able She's on the with horse and he's on the black With a yew tree bow slung to his back They'd nae gone a mile but one When her pains they did come on I would give all my Father's Land For a good midwife at my command O brother take me to yon hill so high Fetch your bow and your arrow and your good eye And when you hear my loud loud cry You bend the bow and you let that arrow fly And when he heard her loud loud cry He bent the bow and he let that arrow fly And when he came to her side The babe was born and the lady died He took up his newborn son Took him to the arms of a milk woman Then he cut himself for good and sure He'll not not gand to the broom any more O Mother I have lost my knife I loved it better than my life But I have loved a better thing The bonnie sheath that my knife went in But I have loved a better thing The bonnie sheath that my knife went in And the sound goes over the woods And the sound goes over the woods
