To make it sound like a harp try some finger picking patterns

( ) you could eventually play the in between

Ca' the yowes to the knowes

Call them where the heather grows

Call them where the burnie rowes

My bonnie dearie

When I went down the water-side

To see the fishes sweetly plaid

Beneath the hazel spreading wide

And the moon that shines so clearly

 When I went down the water-side

 'Twas there I met my shepherd lad

 He row'd me sweetly in his plaid

 And called me, I his dearie

 If you'll but stand to what you've said

 I'll come with you, my bonnie lad

 And you may row me in your plaid

 And i will be your dearie

 You will get gowns and ribbons meet

 And leather shoes upon your feet

 And in my arms you'll lie and sleep

 My bonnie dearie

 As waters wimple to the sea

 While day breaks in the sky so high

 Till' clay-cold death shall blind my eye

I shall be thy dearie

 Till' clay-cold death shall blind my eye

I shall be thy dearie
