Niamh Parsons - Two Sisters lyrics

There were two sisters side by side Sing aye dum, sing aye 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'll be true unto my love If he'll be true to me Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat Sing aye dum, sing aye day Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat The boys are 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 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 are 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 If he'll be true to me As they were walking by the stony brim Sing aye dum, sing aye day As they were walking by the stony brim The boys are bound for me As they were walking by the stony brim The eldest pushed the youngest in I'll be true unto my love If he'll be true to me Sister, oh sister give me your hand Sing aye dum, sing aye day Sister, oh sister give me your hand The boys are bound for me

Sister, oh sister give me your hand And you can have Johnny and all his land I'll be true unto my love If he'll be true to me Oh, sister I won't give you my hand Sing aye dum, sing aye day Oh, sister I won't give you my hand The boys are bound for me Oh, sister I won't give you my hand And I will have Johnny and all his land I'll be true unto my love If he'll be true to me So away she sank and away she swam Sing aye dum, sing aye day So away she sank and away she swam The boys are bound for me So away she sank and away she swam Until she came to the miller's dam I'll be true unto my love If he'll be true to me The miller he took her gay gold ring Sing aye dum, sing aye day The miller he took her gay gold ring The boys are bound for me The miller he took her gay gold ring And then he pushed her in again I'll be true unto my love If he'll be true to me The miller he was hanged on a mountain head Sing aye dum, sing aye day The miller he was hanged on a mountain head The boys are bound for me The miller he was hanged on a mountain head The eldest sister boiled in lead I'll be true unto my love If he'll be true to me
