I will ask you questions nine
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
To see if you're God's child, or one of mine
And you are the weaver's bonny.
What is whiter than the milk?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
And what is softer than the silk?
And you are the weaver's bonny;
Snow is whiter than the milking
Sing ninety nine and ninety
And down is softer than the silk
And I am the weaver's bonny.
What is louder than the horn?
Sing ninety nine and ninety
And what is sharper than the thorn?
And you are the weaver's bonny.
Thunder is louder than a horn
Sing ninety nine and ninety
Death is sharper than the thorn
And I am the weaver's bonny..
What is higher than a tree
Sing ninety nine and ninety
And what is deeper than the sea
And I am the weaver's bonny..
Heaven is higher than a tree
Sing ninety nine and ninet
And Hell is deeper than the sea.
And I am the weaver's bonny.
