Once three sisters went a walk,
Once three sisters went a walk,
Once three sisters went a walk,
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
They met a robber on the way,
They met a robber on the way,
They met a robber on the way,
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
He took the first one by the hand,
He birled her round till she could not stand,
He birled her round till she could not stand,
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
Will you be a robber's wife,
Or will you die by my penknife?
Will you be a robber's wife?
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
I'll not be a robber's wife,
I'd rather die by your penknife,
I'll not be a robber's wife,
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
Then he took out his penknife,
Then he ended her sweet life,
Then he ended her sweet life,
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
He took the second one by the hand,
He birled her round till she could not stand,
He birled her round till she could not stand,
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
Will you be a robber's wife,
Or will you die by my penknife?
Will you be a robber's wife?
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
I'll not be a robber's wife,
I'd rather die by your penknife,
I'll not be a robber's wife,
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
Then he took out his penknife,
Then he ended her sweet life,
Then he ended her sweet life,
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
He took the third one by the hand,
He birled her round till she could not stand,
He birled her round till she could not stand,
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
Will you be a robber's wife,
Or will you die by my penknife?
Will you be a robber's wife?
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
I'll not be a robber's wife,
I'd rather die by your penknife,
I'll not be a robber's wife,
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
I wish my two brothers were here,
I wish my two brothers were here,
I wish my two brothers were here,
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
What are your two brothers like,
What are your two brothers like,
What are your two brothers like?
Down by the bonnie banks of Airdrie, O
