Lyrics:

There were two sisters came walkin' down the stream

Oh the wind and rain

Older one pushed the youngest one in

Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain



Coz Johnny gave the youngest a gay gold ring

Oh the wind and rain

Didn't give the other one anything

Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain



So she pushed her into the river to drown

Oh the wind and rain

Watched her as she floated down

Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain



She floated 'till she came to the miller's pond

Oh the wind and rain

Cried father o father there swims a swan

Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain



Then out of the woods came a fidder fair

Oh the wind and rain

He plucked thirty strands of her long yellow hair


Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain



And he made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair

Oh the wind and rain

Made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair

Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain



And he made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones

Oh the wind and rain

He made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones

Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain



And he made a little fiddle of her own breast bone

Oh the wind and rain

The sound could melt a heart of stone

Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain



And the only tune that the fiddle would play

Was oh the wind and rain

Only tune that the fiddle would play

Was oh the dreadful wind and rain
