Lyrics

Oh you must answer my questions nine
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
Oh you aren't God's you're one of mine
you'll be the devil's bonny
What is whiter than milk?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
What is softer than silk?
To be the devil's bonny
Snow is whiter than milk
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
And down is softer than silk
And I'll be the devil's bonny
Oh what is higher than a tree?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
And what is deeper than the sea?
Being the devil's bonny
Heaven's higher than a tree
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
And Hell is deeper than the sea
And I am the devil's bonny
What is louder than a horn?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
And what is sharper than a thorn?
A forked tongue to guide me
Thunder's louder than a horn
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
And death is sharper than a thorn
Heaven's high above me
What's more innocent than a lamb?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
And what is meaner than a man?
God's eyes upon me
A babe's more innocent than a lamb
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
God is meaner than man
But I am the devil's bonny
