Now you must answer my questions nine Sing ninety-nine and ninety, Or you aren't God's you are one of mine And who is the weaver's bonny. What is whiter than milk? Sing ninety-nine and ninety; And what is softer than silk? And who is the weaver's bonny." Snow is whiter than milk, Sing ninety-nine and ninety; And down is softer than 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."
