CRUEL BROTHER
or BONNIE, BONNIE BANKS OF THE VIRGIO

Three young ladies went for a walk
Too ra lee and a lon ee o
They met a robber on their way
By the bonnie, bonnie banks of the Virgio

He took the first one by the hand
He whipped her around and he made her stand

Oh, will you be a robber's wife
Or will you die by my pen knife

I will not be a robber's wife
I'd rather die by your pen knife

He took the second one by the hand
He whipped her around and he made her stand
Oh, will you be a robber's wife
Or will you die by my pen knife

I will not be a robber's wife
I'd rather die by your pen knife

He took the third one by the hand
He whipped her around and he made her stand

Oh, will you be a robber's wife
Or will you die by my pen knife

I will not be a robber's wife
Nor will I die by your pen knife

If my brothers had been here
You would not have killed my sisters dear

Who are your brothers, I pray thee tell
One is a robber like yourself
And who is the other, I pray thee tell
The other is a minister

Lord have mercy for what I have done
I've killed my sisters, all but one
