Archie Noble - The Two Sisters Lyrics



Archie Noble - The Two Sisters Lyrics




There was an old woman lived on the sea shore
Bow and balance to me
There was an old woman lived on the sea shore
Her number of daughters one two three four
And I'll be true to my love if my love'll be true to me

There was a young man come courting on down
Bow and balance to me
There was a young man come courting on down
The oldest she got struck on him
And I'll be true to my love if my love'll be true to me

He bought the youngest a beaver hat
Bow and balance to me
He bought the youngest a beaver hat
The oldest she got mad at that
And I'll be true to my love if my love'll be true to me

Oh sister oh sister let's walk the sea shore
Bow and balance to me
Oh sister oh sister let's walk the sea shore
See the ships as they sail on
And I'll be true to my love if my love'll be true to me

While those two sisters were walking the shore
Bow and balance to me
While those two sisters were walking the shore
The eldest pushed the youngest over
And I'll be true to my love if my love'll be true to me

Oh sister oh sister please lend me your hand
Bow and balance to me
Oh sister oh sister please lend me your hand
And you may have Billy and all of his land
And I'll be true to my love if my love'll be true to me

I never I never shall lend you my hand
Bow and balance to me
I never I never shall lend you my hand
But I may have Billy and all of his land
And I'll be true to my love if my love'll be true to me

Well some time she sank and some time she swam
Bow and balance to me
Well some time she sank and some time she swam
Until she came to the old mill damn
And I'll be true to my love if my love'll be true to me

The miller he got out his fishing hook
Bow and balance to me
The miller he got out his fishing hook
Fished the maiden out of the brook
And I'll be true to my love if my love'll be true to me

Oh miller oh miller here's five gold rings
Bow and balance to me
Oh miller oh miller here's five gold rigs
To push my sister back in again
And I'll be true to my love if my love'll be true to me

The miller received them five gold rings
Bow and balance to me
The miller received them five gold rings
And pushed the maiden in again
And I'll be true to my love if my love'll be true to me

The sister was hung on the gallows high
Bow and balance to me
The sister was hung on the gallows high
The miller was burned at the stake nearby
And I'll be true to my love if my love'll be true to me
