Two Sisters lyrics

There was an old woman, lived by the seashore

Bow and balance me

There was an old woman, lived by the seashore

A number of daughters: one, two, three, four

And I'll be true to my love

if my love will be true to me

There was a young man come there to see them

Bow and balance me

There was a young man come there to see them

and the oldest one got stuck on him

And I'll be true to my love

if my love will be true to me

He bought the youngest a beaver hat

Bow and balance me

He bought the youngest a beaver hat

and the oldest one got mad at that

And I'll be true to my love

if my love will be true to me

Oh, sister oh, sister let's walk the seashore

Bow and balance me

Oh, sister oh, sister let's walk the seashore

and see the ships as they're sailing on

And I'll be true to my love

if my love will be true to me

While these two sisters were walking the shore

Bow and balance me

While these two sisters were walking the shore

the oldest pushed the youngest o'er

And I'll be true to my love

if my love will be true to me

Oh, sister oh, sister please lend me your hand

Bow and balance me

Oh, sister oh, sister please lend me your hand

and you will have Willy and all of his land

And then I'll be true to my love

if my love will be true to me

I'll never, I'll never will lend you my hand

Bow and balance me

I'll never, I'll never will lend you my hand

but I'll have Willy and all of his land

And I'll be true to my love

if my love will be true to me

Some time she swam and some time she swam

Bow and balance me

Some time she sank and some time she swam

untill she came to the old mill dam

And I'll be true to my love

if my love will be true to me

The miller, he got his fishinghook

Bow and balance me

The miller, he got his fishinghook

and fished that maiden out of the brook

And I'll be true to my love

if my love will be true to me

Oh, miller oh, miller here's five gold rings

Bow and balance me

Oh, miller oh, miller here's five gold rings

to push the maiden in again

And I'll be true to my love

if my love will be true to me

The miller received those five gold rings

Bow and balance me

The miller received those five gold rings

and pushed that maiden in again

And I'll be true to my love

if my love will be true to me

The miller was hung in the old mill gate

Bow and balance me

The miller was hung in the old mill gate

for drowning little sister Kate

And I'll be true to my love

if my love will be true to me
