lyrics

There were three sisters fair and bright,
And they three loved one valiant knight.
The eldest sister let him in,
And barred the door with a silver pin.
The second sister made his bed,
And placed soft pillows under his head.

Jennifer gentle and rosemaree
As the dew flies over the mulberry tree

The youngest sister, fair and bright,
Was resolved for to wed with this valiant knight.
‘And if you can answer questions three,
O then, fair maid, I will marry with thee.

‘What is louder than an horn,
And what is sharper than a thorn?
‘What is heavier than the lead,
And what s better than the bread
‘What is broader than the way,
And what is deeper than the sea?’

‘Thunder is louder than an horn,
And hunger is sharper than a thorn.’
‘Sin is heavier than the lead,
The blessing’s better than the bread’
‘Love is broader than the way,
And hell is deeper than the sea.’

‘And now, fair maid, I will marry with thee.’
