Three sisters went a-walking one day
Ee can I say Bonnie-o
And they met a robber by the way
On the bonnie banks of the Airdrie-o
He's ta'en the first yin by the hand
Ee can I say Bonnie-o
And he birled her aroon and he made her stand
On the bonnie banks of the Airdrie-o
"It's will ye be a rank robber's wife?"
Ee can I say Bonnie-o
"Or will you die by my penknife
On the bonnie banks of the Airdrie-o?"
"It's I'll no be a rank robber's wife"
Ee can I say Bonnie-o
"I would rather die by your penknife
On the bonnie banks of the Airdrie-o"

He's ta'en the second yin by the hand
Ee can I say Bonnie-o
And he birlะตd her aroon and he made hะตr stand
On the bonnie banks of the Airdrie-o
"It's will ye be a rank robber's wife?"
Ee can I say Bonnie-o
"Or will you die by my penknife
On the bonnie banks of the Airdrie-o?"
"It's I'll no be a rank robber's wife"
Ee can I say Bonnie-o
"I would rather die by your penknife
On the bonnie banks of the Airdrie-o"
ย
He's ta'en the third yin by the hand
Ee can I say Bonnie-o
And he birled her aroon and he made her stand
On the bonnie banks of the Airdrie-o
"It's will ye be a rank robber's wife?"
Ee can I say Bonnie-o
"Or will you die by my penknife
On the bonnie banks of the Airdrie-o?"
"It's I'll no be a rank robber's wife"
Ee can I say Bonnie-o
"I would rather die by your penknife
On the bonnie banks of the Airdrie-o"
"For it's I hae a brother in this wood"
Ee can I say Bonnie-o
"And if you kill me, he'll kill ye good
On the bonnie banks of the Airdrie-o"
"Well, tell to me your brother's name"
Ee can I say Bonnie-o
"Well, they call my brother Babylon
On the bonnie banks of the Airdrie-o"
"Oh, sister, sister, what hae I done?"
Ee can I say Bonnie-o
"I have killed my sisters all but one
On the bonnie banks of the Airdrie-o"
He's taken out his wee penknife
Ee can I say Bonnie-o
And there he's twined his wretched life
On the bonnie banks of the Airdrie-o
