Sing ninety-nine and ninety,

I’ll take you off, and I live in hell,

And you the weavering bonty.

Oh, what is whiter far than milk?

Sing ninety-nine and ninety,

And what is softer far than silk?

And you the weavering bonty.

Sing ninety-nine and ninety,

And down is softer far than silk,

And me the weavering bonty.

Sing ninety-nine and ninety,

And what is sharper than a thorn?

And you the weavering bonty.
