Binnorie- As sung by Archie Webster of Strathkinness near St Andrews recorded on several occasions in February 1968 [Spr 69.2.12, 14, 15]
There lived twa sisters in yon bonnie bower,
[or: twa maidens in yonder bower
Binnorie O binnorie,
They had but a lad atween them twa,
By the bonnie mill dams o Binnorie.
[or: bonnie mill lade o Binnorie]
He coorted the eldest wi glove an' ring,
Binnorie O binnorie,
He loved the young girl above onything,
By the bonnie mill dams o Binnorie.
He courted the elder wi his penknife,
Binnorie O binnorie,
He loved the young girl as dear as his life,
By the bonnie mill dams o Binnorie.
etc.
Oh yonder sits my father the King,
An' yonder sits my mother the Queen.
