The Land of
Nursery Rhymes
There Were
Three Sisters
There were three sisters fair and bright,
Jennifer gentle and rosemary,
And they three loved one valiant knight.
As the dew flies over the mulberry tree.
The eldest sister let him in,
Jennifer gentle and rosemary,
And barred the door with a silver pin,
As the dew flies over the mulberry tree.
The second sister made his bed,
Jennifer gentle and rosemary,
And placed soft pillows under his head,
As the dew flies over the mulberry tree.
The youngest sister, fair and bright,
Jennifer gentle and rosemary,
Was resolved for to wed with this valiant knight,
As the dew flies over the mulberry tree.
‘And if you can answer questions three,
Jennifer gentle and rosemary,
O then, fair maid, I will marry with thee,
As the dew flies over the mulberry tree.
‘What is louder than a horn,
Jennifer gentle and rosemary,
And what is sharper than a thorn?
As the dew flies over the mulberry tree.
‘Thunder is louder than an horn,
Jennifer gentle and rosemary,
And hunger is sharper than a thorn,
As the dew flies over the mulberry tree.
‘What is broader than the way,
Jennifer gentle and rosemary,
And what is deeper than the sea?
As the dew flies over the mulberry tree.
‘Love is broader than the way,
Jennifer gentle and rosemary,
And hell is deeper than the sea,
As the dew flies over the mulberry tree.
‘And now, fair maid, I will marry thee,
Jennifer gentle and rosemary.’
