lyrics

Two sisters at the river's brim
Bow it down, bow it down
Two sisters at the river's brim
Bow it down to me
Two sisters at the river's brim
The eldest pushed the youngest in
True true to your true love
And he'll prove true to thee

O sister dear give me your hand
And you can have my house and land

No I won't give to you my hand
But I will have your house and land

O sister dear give me your glove
And you can have my own true love

No I won't give to you my glove
But I shall have your own true love

O first she sank and second she swam
Until she reached the miller's dam

The miller threw out his fishing hook
And caught her by the petticoat

He stripped her from her toe to her chin
And then he threw her in again

First she sank and second she swam
Until she reached her long-sought home

The miller was hanged for her sake
Her sister burned up tied to a stake
