They were kind and good The oldest sister went into the woods She met and fell in love with a gentleman He was the only son of the laird of the land Singing hi da diddle diddle die dal day Hi da diddle diddle die dal day Every day just as the sunset fell, The gentleman and maiden met beside a well Their love was true. Their love was strong The swore to tell their parents that they belong The oldest sister told her six siblings She met a man to love for eternity They giggled and laughed with pride and joy They would see her wed, the sisters swore. The gentleman shared the love he found But the Laird reminded him he was duty bound He was betrothed to a fair lady To extend his father's land along the sea There in the meadow, the gentleman professed To marry the maiden in a pretty white dress She and her sisters, they promised They would wait for him til their Marriage kiss The Laird he learned of the marriage plan He swore his son would become a man He chained his son on the bailey ground the gentleman said he was already bound As the sun set, the laird laughed cruelly You'll stay there till you listen to me The Gentleman called out to the night I will be faithful to my love so bright There was a bright light. The ground it shook. The water went dry Down by the brook. The sisters heard the gentlemen's cry. They turn to stane so they'd never die The Lord went down to the Bailey ground To see if his son had come around There where his son had been chained alane All that stood was a standings stane Deep in the wood by a dried up brook Stand Seven tall stones that continue to look The seven sisters await the swain Who stands in the courtyard all alane Brobdingnagian Bards "Seven Sisters" from Another Faire to Remember NEXT TIME: Marc interviews Andrew about his new CD.
