GUEST,Sylvie Lyr Req: The Cruel Sister (from Pentangle) (12) Chorus to Pentangle's 'The Cruel Sister' 16 Jun 01


Does anyone know what chorus words Jacqui MacShee of The Pentangle sang when they recorded "The Cruel Sister"? The lyrics have already been posted somewhere, but there's a brief chorus that is sung after every line of the ballad which I can't decipher from listening to the music. It's something like this:

There lived a lady by the north sea shore,
Lay the ______ by the bonny ______ (????),
Two daughters were the babes she bore,
Fa la la la la, la la la.

Can anyone supply the missing words?
