Two Sisters

There was an old woman lived by the sea shore
 Bow, balance to me
 There was an old woman lived by the sea shore
 And the 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 Willie and all o' 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 the 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 o' 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 the 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 the 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 gate
 Bow, balance me
 The miller was hung in the old mill gate
 For drowned and pour 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
 And I'll be true to my love if my love is true to me
