Two Sisters

 

Trad.Collected by renowned folklorist Francis J. Child

 

There were two sisters side by side 
Sing I dum sing I day
There were two sisters side by side 
The boys are bound for me
There were two sisters side by side 
The eldest for young Johnny cried
I値l be true unto my love if he値l be true to me

 

Johnny bought the youngest a gay gold ring 
Sing I dum sing I day
Johnny bought the youngest a gay gold ring 
The boys are bound for me
Johnny bought the youngest a gay gold ring 
He never bought the eldest a single thing
I値l be true unto my love if he値l be true to me.

As they were a walking by the foamy brim 
Sing I dum sing I day
As they were a walking by the foamy brim 
The boys are bound for me
As they were a walking by the foamy brim 
The eldest pushed the youngest in
I値l be true unto my love if he値l be true to me.

Away she sank and away she swam 
Sing I dum sing I day
Away she sank and away she swam 
The boys are bound for me
Away she sank and away she swam 
Until she came to the miller痴 dam
I値l be true unto my love if he値l be true to me
