Paroles
1. You must answer my questions nine
Sing ninety-nine and ninety,
To see if you're God's or one of mine
And you are the weaver's bonny.
2. What is whiter than the milk ?
And what is softer than the silk ?
And you are the weaver's bonny.
3. Snow is whiter than the milk,
And down is softer than the silk,
And I am the weaver's bonny.
4. What is higher than a tree ?
And what is deeper than the sea ?
And who is the weaver's bonny ?
5. Heaven is higher than a tree,
And hell is deeper than the sea,
And I am the weaver's bonny.
6. What is louder than a horn?
And what is sharper than a thorn ?
And who is the weaver's bonny ?
7. Thunder's louder than a horn,
And death is sharper than a thorn,
And I am the weaver's bonny.
8. What's more innocent than a lamb ?
What is meaner than woman kind ?
And who is the weaver's bonny.
9. A babe's more innocent than a lamb,
And the devil is meaner than woman kind,
And I am the weaver's bonny."
10. You have answered my questions nine,
So you are God's, you are none of mine,
And you are the weaver's bonny.
Traduction
1. Tu dois répondre à mes neuf questions
Pour voir si tu es tu côté de Dieu ou du mien.
2. Qu'est-ce qui est plus bland que le lait
Qu'est-ce qui est plus doux que la soie ?
3. La neige est plus blanche que le lait
Et le duvet est plus doux que la soie.
4. Qu'est-ce qui est plus haut qu'un arbre
Qu'est-ce qui est plus profond que l'océan ?

Et l'enfer est plus profond que l'océan.
10. Tu as répondu à mes neuf questions
Tu es bien du côté de Dieu.
