Oh, the Wind and Rain (The Two Sisters) 
Oh, there were two sisters come a-walking down the stream Oh, the wind and rain And one of them pushed the other one in Crying, oh, the wind and rain 
Johnny gave the younger one a gay gold ring Didn't give the elder one anything 
She pushed her sister in the river to drown And watched her as she floated down 
She floated 'til she came to the miller's pond Crying, Father, oh father, there swims a swan 
Well, the miller laid her out on the banks to dry And the fiddling fool come a-passing by 
Way down the road come a fiddler fair Way down the road come a fiddler fair 
And he's made fiddle strings of her long yellow hair And he's made fiddle strings of her long yellow hair 
And he's made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones And he's made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones 
And he's made a little fiddle body of her breast bone Whose sound would melt a heart of stone 
But the only tune that the fiddle could play Was, Oh, the wind and rain The only tune that the fiddle could play Was, Oh, the cruel wind and the rain
