David Grisman - Dreadful wind and rain lyrics

There were two sisters came walkin' down the stream Oh the wind and rain The one behind pushed the other one in Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain Johnny gave the youngest a gay gold ring Oh the wind and rain Didn't give the oldest one anything Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain They pushed her into the river to drown Oh the wind and rain And watched her as she floated down Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain Floated 'till she came to a miller's pond Oh the wind and rain Mama oh father there swims a swan (note 1) Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain The miller pushed her out with a fishing hook (note 2) Oh the wind and rain Drew that fair maid from the brook (note 3) Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain He left her on the banks to dry Cryin' oh the wind and rain And a fiddlin' fool come pa**ing by Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain Out of the woods came a fidder fair Oh the wind and rain Took thirty strands of her long yellow hair Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain And he made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair Oh the wind and rain He made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain He made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones Oh the wind and rain He made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain And he made a little fiddle of her breast bone Oh the wind and rain The sound could melt a heart of stone Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain And the only tune that the fiddle would play Was oh the wind and rain The only tune that the fiddle would play Was oh the dreadful wind and rain
