There were two sisters came walkin' down the stream |
|
Oh the wind and rain |
|
Older one pushed the youngest one in |
|
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain |
|
Coz Johnny gave the youngest a gay gold ring |
|
Oh the wind and rain |
|
Didn't give the oldest one anything |
|
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain |
|
So she pushed her into the river to drown |
|
Oh the wind and rain |
|
Watched her as she floated down |
|
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain |
|
She floated 'till she came to the miller's pond |
|
Oh the wind and rain |
|
Cried father o father there swims a swan |
|
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain |
|
Then out of the woods came a fidder fair |
|
Oh the wind and rain |
|
He plucked thirty strands of her long yellow hair |
|
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain |
|
And he made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair |
|
Oh the wind and rain |
|
Made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair |
|
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain |
|
And he made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones |
|
Oh the wind and rain |
|
He made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones |
|
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain |
|
And he made a little fiddle of her own breast bone |
|
Oh the wind and rain |
|
The sound could melt a heart of stone |
|
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain |
|
And the only tune that the fiddle would play |
|
Was oh the wind and rain |
|
Only tune that the fiddle would play |
|
Was oh the dreadful wind and rain |
