[sung] [MRS JOHNSTONE] Tell me it's not true Say it's just a story
[spoken] [NARRATOR] So, did you hear the story of the Johnstone twins? As like each other as two new pins Of one womb born, on the self same day How one was kept and one given away And did ya never hear how the Johnstones died Never knowing that they shared one name Until the day they died, when a mother cried: \'My own dear sons lie slain!\' And did ya never hear of the mother so cruel There's a stone in place of her heart? Then bring her on and, come, judge for yourselves How she came to play this part
