2. Two sisters went walking along the shore,
Bow bans to me, And the oldest shoved the youngest o'er. I'll be true to my love If my love will be true to me.
("Don't remember what is next, only she begged her sister to save her and she refused.")
3. She bowed her hands to her breast and away she swam,
Bow bans to me, And she swam till she came to the miller's dam. I'll be true to my love If my love will be true to me.
("She pleaded with the miller to save her, and offered him her ten gold rings.")
4. The miller he took the gold rings ten,
Bow bans to me, And threw her back in the water again. I'll be true to my love If my love will be true to me.
5. She bowed her hands to her breast and away she swam,
Bow bans to me, She swam until she came to her eternal home. I'll be true to my love If my love will be true to me.
