| There were two sisters side by side
|
| Sing I-dum, sing I-day
|
| There were two sisters side by side
|
| The boys are born 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 gay-gold ring
|
| Sing I-dum, sing I-day
|
| Johnny bought the youngest a gay-gold ring
|
| The boys are born 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
|
| Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat
|
| Sing I-dum, sing I-day
|
| Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat
|
| The boys are born 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
|
| As they were a-walking by the foamy brim
|
| Sing I-dum, sing I-day
|
| As they were a-walking by the foamy brim
|
| The boys are born for me
|
| As they were a-walking by the foamy 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 thy hand
|
| Sing I-dum, sing I-day
|
| Sister, oh sister, give me thy hand
|
| The boys are born for me
|
| Sister, oh sister, give me thy 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’ll not give you my hand
|
| Sing I-dum, sing I-day
|
| Oh sister, I’ll not give you my hand
|
| The boys are born for me
|
| Oh sister, I’ll not give you my hand
|
| And I’ll 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 I-dum, sing I-day
|
| So away she sank and away she swam
|
| The boys are born 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 I-dum, sing I-day
|
| The miller, he took her gay-gold ring
|
| The boys are born 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 the mountain head
|
| Sing I-dum, sing I-day
|
| The miller, he was hanged on the mountain head
|
| The boys are born for me
|
| The miller, he was hanged on the mountain head
|
| The eldest sister was boiled in lead
|
| I’ll be true unto my love if he’ll be true to me |
