O you must answer my questions nine Sing ninety-nine and ninety, Or you ‘re not God’s, you’re one of mine And you were the weaver’s bonny. What is whiter than the milk? Sing ninety-nine and ninety, And what is softer than the silk? And you were the weaver’s bonny. Snow is whiter than the milk Sing ninety-nine and ninety, And down is softer than the silk, And I am the weaver’s bonny. O what is higher than a tree? Sing ninety-nine and ninety And what is deeper than the sea? And you were the weaver’s bonny. Heaven’s higher than a tree Sing ninety-nine and ninety, And Hell is deeper than the sea And I am the weaver’s bonny. What is louder than a horn? Sing ninety-nine and ninety, And what is sharper than a thorn? And you were the weaver’s bonny. Thunder’s louder than a horn Sing ninety-nine and ninety, And death is sharper than a thorn And I am the weaver’s bonny. What ‘s more innocent than a lamb? Sing ninety-nine and ninety, And what is meaner than woman-kind? And you were the weaver’s bonny. A babe’s more innocent than a lamb Sing ninety-nine and ninety, And the devil is meaner than woman-kind And I am the weaver’s bonny. Oh you have answered my questions nine Sing ninety-nine and ninety, And you were God’s, you’re none of mine And you were the weaver’s bonny.
