| Info: Lyrics: If you don't answer my questions nine Sing ninety-nine and ninety, I'll take you off to hell alive, And you are the weaver's bonny. What is whiter than milk? Sing ninety-nine and ninety; What is softer than silk? Say you're the weaver's bonny." Snow is whiter than milk, Sing ninety-nine and ninety; Down is softer than silk, And I'm the weaver's bonny." What is louder than a horn? Sing ninety-nine and ninety; What is sharper than a thorn? Sing I am the weaver's bonny. Thunder's louder than a horn, Sing ninety-nine and ninety ; Death is sharper than a thorn, Sing I'm the weaver's bonny. What is higher than a tree? Sing ninety-nine and ninety; What is deeper than the sea? Sing I'm the weaver's bonny. Heaven's higher than a tree, Sing ninety-nine and ninety; And hell is deeper than the sea, Sing I'm the weaver's bonny. What is innocenter than a lamb? Sing ninety-nine and ninety; What is worse than womankind? Say I'm the weaver's bonny. A babe is innocenter than a lamb, Sing ninety-nine and ninety ; The devil's worse than womankind, Sing I'm the weaver's bonny." You have answered me questions nine, Sing ninety-nine and ninety; You are God's, you're not my own, And you're the weaver's bonny." | |
