American Patchwork Quartet - Wind and Rain Lyrics

There were two sisters, such a beautiful pair
O the wind and rain
One was dark and the other was fair
O the dreadful wind and rain

And they both had a love for a neighbor's son
O the wind and rain
But he was fond of the fairer one
O the dreadful wind and rain

So she pushed her into the river to drown
O the wind and rain
And watched her as she floated down
O the dreadful wind and rain

And she floated till she came to a shallow pond
O the wind and rain
Dead on the water like a golden swan
O the dreadful wind and rain

And along the road came a fiddler fair
O the wind and rain
And found her bones just a lying there, cried
O the dreadful wind and rain

So he made a fiddle peg of her long finger bone
O the wind and rain
He a made a fiddle peg of her long finger bone
O the dreadful wind and rain

And he strung his fiddle bow with her long yeller hair
O the wind and rain
He strung his fiddle bow with her long yeller hair, cried
O the dreadful wind and rain

And he made a fiddle fiddle of her breast bone
O the wind and rain
He made a fiddle fiddle of her breast bone, cried
O the dreadful wind and rain

But the only tune that the fiddle could play was
O the wind and rain
The only tune that the fiddle would play was
O the dreadful wind and rain
