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
