Two Sisters Songtext
von We Banjo 3

There was an old woman lived by the seashore
Bow, balance me
There was an old woman lived by the seashore
A number of daughters, one, two, three, four
And I′ll be true to my love if my love is true to me

There was a young man come there to see them
Bow, balance me
He brought the youngest a beaver hat
The oldest one got mad at that
And I'll be true to my love if my love is true to me

Oh, sister, oh, sister, let′s walk the seashore
Bow, balance me
While these two sisters were walking the shore
The oldest pushed the youngest o'er
And I'll be true to my love if my love is true to me


Oh, sister, oh, sister, please lend me your hand
Bow, balance me
I never, I never will lend you my hand
But I′ll have Willy and all of his land
And I′ll be true to my love if my love is true to me

Sometimes she sank and sometimes she swam
Bow, balance me
Sometimes she sank and sometimes she swam
Until she came to that old mill dam
And I'll be true to my love if my love is true to me

The miller, he got his fishing hook
Bow, balance me
The miller, he got his fishing hook
And fished that maiden out of the brook
And I′ll be true to my love if my love is true to me

Oh, miller, oh, miller, here's five gold rings
Bow, balance me
Oh, miller, oh, miller, here′s five gold rings
To push that maiden in again
And I'll be true to my love if my love is true to me


The miller received those five gold rings
Bow, balance me
The miller received those five gold rings
And pushed that maiden in again
And I′ll be true to my love if my love is true to me

The miller was hung in the old mill gates
Bow, balance me
The miller was hung in the old mill gates
For drowning poor old sister Kate
And I'll be true to my love if my love is true to me

And I'll be true to my love if my love is true to me
And I′ll be true to my love if my love is true to me
