Two Sisters Lyrics
|
|
There were two sisters side by side
|
Sing aye dum, sing aye day
|
There were two sisters side by side
|
The boys abound for me
|
There were two sisters side by side
|
The eldest for young Johnny cried
|
I’ll be true unto my love
|
If you’ll be true to me
|
|
Johnny bought the youngest a gay gold ring
|
Sing aye dum, sing aye day
|
Johnny bought the youngest a gay gold ring
|
The boys abound for me
|
Johnny bought the youngest a gay gold ring
|
He never bought the eldest a single thing
|
I’ll be true unto my love
|
If you’ll be true to me
|
|
Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat
|
Sing aye dum, sing aye day
|
Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat
|
The boys abound for me
|
Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat
|
The eldest didn’t think much of that
|
I’ll be true unto my love
|
If you’ll be true to me
|
|
As they were a walkin’ by the foamy brim
|
Sing aye dum, sing aye day
|
As they were a walkin’ by the foamy brim
|
The boys abound for me
|
As they were a walkin’ by the foamy brim
|
The eldest pushed the youngest in
|
I’ll be true unto my love
|
If he’ll be true to me
|
|
Sister, oh sister give me thy hand
|
Sing aye dum, sing aye day
|
Sister, oh sister give me thy hand
|
The boys abound for me
|
Sister, oh sister give me thy hand
|
And you can have johnny and all his land
|
I’ll be true unto my love
|
If he’ll be true to me
|
|
Oh sister I’ll not give you my hand
|
Sing aye dum, sing aye day
|
Oh sister I’ll not give you my hand
|
The boys abound for me
|
Oh sister I’ll not give you my hand
|
And I’ll have johnny and all his land
|
I’ll be true unto my love
|
If he’ll be true to me
|
|
So away she sank and away she swam
|
Sing aye dum, sing aye day
|
So away she sank and away she swam
|
The boys abound for me
|
So away she sank and away she swam
|
Until she came to the miller’s dam
|
I’ll be true unto my love
|
If he’ll be true to me
|
|
The miller he took her gay gold ring
|
Sing aye dum, sing aye day
|
The miller he took her gay gold ring
|
The boys abound for me
|
The miller he took her gay gold ring
|
And then he pushed her in again
|
I’ll be true unto my love
|
If he’ll be true to me
|
|
The miller he was hanged on the mountain head
|
Sing aye dum, sing aye day
|
The miller he was hanged on the mountain head
|
The boys abound for me
|
The miller he was hanged on the mountain head
|
The eldest sister was boiled in lead
|
I’ll be true unto my love
|
If he’ll be true to me
|
