Two Sisters (Bonnie Broom) There was a lady lived in York Lay the bend tae the bonnie broom Two daughters were the babes she bore Fa la la la la la la la la la As one grew bright as is the sun, Lay... So darker grew the elder one, fa la... A knight came riding to the lady's door he traveled far to be the wooer He courted one with gloves and rings But he loved the younger above all things Sister will you go with me To watch the ships all on the sea She took her sister by the hand And led her down to the North Sea strand Long they stood on the windy shore The Darker threw her sister o'er Sometimes she sank, sometimes she swam Crying, Sister, reach to me your hand O Sister, Sister, let me live And all that's mine I'll surely give It's your own true love that I'll have and more But thou shalt never come ashore And there she floated like a swan The salt sea bore her body on Some minstrels walked along the strand And saw the maiden float close to them They made a harp of her breastbone Whose sound would melt a heart of stone They took strands of her yellow hair And with it strung their harp so fair They went into her father's hall To play the harp before them all But as they laid it on a stone The harp began to play alone The first string sang a doleful sound The brighter, younger sister drownded The second string did then reply In terror sits the black-haired bride The first string sang beneath the bow And surely now the tears would flow Child #10 sung by Frankie Armstrong on Lovely on Water and by the Golden Ring @ballad @love @murder @family filename[ TWOSIS play.exe TWOSIS SF ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
