And then, as plain as plain could be,

(Binnorie, oh Binnorie),

There sits my sister wha drowned me!

By the bonny milldams o’ Binnorie.

Ho’s ta’en three locks o’ her yellow hair (Binnorie, oh Binnorie), And wi’ them strung his harp sae rare By the bonny milldams of Binnorie.

And sune the harp sang loud and clear (Binnorie, oh Binnorie), Fareweel my father, and mother dear! By the bonny milldams of Binnorie.
