Ives, Burl - The Devil's Nine Questions Lyrics
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
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?
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
