Текст песни The Devil's Nine Questions (Burl Ives) с переводом

You must answer my questions nine

Sing ninety-nine and ninety

Or you aren’t God’s you are one of mine

And you are the weaver’s bonny

What is whiter than milk?

Sing ninety-nine and ninety

And what is softer than silk?

And you are the weaver’s bonny

Snow is whiter than milk

Sing ninety-nine and ninety

And down is softer than the silk

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 who is 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 is higher than a tree?

Sing ninety-nine and ninety

And what is deeper than the sea?

And who is the weaver’s bonny?

Heaven is higher than a tree

Sing ninety-nine and ninety

And hell is deeper than the sea

And I am the weaver’s bonny

What’s more innocent than a lamb?

Sing ninety-nine and ninety

What is meaner than woman kind?

And who is 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

You have answered my questions nine

Sing ninety-nine and ninety

So you are God’s, you are none of mine

And you are the weaver’s bonny
