Lyrics Two Sisters - Quilty, Fredrik Bengtsson

Two Sisters

There were two sister side by side
Sing aye-dum sing aye-dey
There were two sister side by side
The boys were bound for me
There were two sister side by side
The young one for young Johnny cried
I’ll be true unto my love love
If he’ll be true to me
Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat
Sing aye-dum sing aye-dey
Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat
The boys were bound for me
Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat
The eldest didn’t think much of that
I’ll be true unto my love love
If he’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 were bound 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 love
If he’ll be true to me
As they were a-walking by the stony brim
Sing aye-dum sing aye-dey
As they were a-walking by the stony brim
The boys were bound for me
As they were a-walking by tha stony brim
The eldest pushed the youngest in
I’ll be true unto my love love
If he’ll be true to me
Oh sister, oh sister give me your hand
Sing aye-dum sing aye-dey
Oh sister, oh sister give me your hand
The boys were bound for me
Oh sister, oh sister give me your hand
And you can have Johnny and all his land
I’ll be true unto my love love
If he’ll be true to me
Oh sister I will not give you my hand
Sing aye-dum sing aye-dey
Oh sister I will not give you my hand
The boys were bound for me
Oh sister I will not give you my hand
And I will have Johnny and all his land
I’ll be true unto my love love
If he’ll be true to me
And away she sank and away she swam
Sing aye-dum sing aye-dey
And away she sank and away she swam
The boys were bound for me
And away she sank and away she swam
Until she came to the millers dam
I’ll be true unto my love love
If he’ll be true to me
And the miller he took her gay gold ring
Sing aye-dum sing aye-dey
And the miller he took her gay gold ring
The boys were bound for me
And the miller he took her gay gold ring
And then he pushed her in again
I’ll be true unto my love love
If he’ll be true to me
And the miller he was hanged on the mountain head
Sing aye-dum sing aye-dey
And the miller he was hanged on the mountain head
The boys were bound for me
And the miller he was hanged on the mountain head
The eldest sister was boiled in lead
I’ll be true unto my love love
If he’ll be true to me
I’ll be true unto my love love
If he’ll be true to me
