lyrics

Two Sisters

There were two sisters side by side
Sing aye-dum, sing aye-day
There were two sisters side by side
The boys are bound for me
There were two sisters side by side
The eldest one for Johnny cried
I'll be true unto my love
If he'll be true to me

Johnny bought the youngest a gay gold ring
Sing aye-dum, sing aye-day
Johnny bought the youngest a gay gold ring
The boys are bound for me
Johnny bought the youngest a gay gold ring
He never bought the eldest a single thing
I'll be true unto my love
If he'll be true to me

As they went a-walking by the foamy brim
Sing aye-dum, sing aye-day
As they went a-walking by the foamy brim
The boys are bound for me
As they went a-walking by the foamy brim
The eldest pushed the youngest in
I'll be true unto my love
If he'll be true to me

Sister, oh sister, give me your hand
Sing aye-dum, sing aye-day
Sister, oh sister, give me your hand
The boys are bound for me
Sister, oh sister, give me your hand
You can have my Johnny and all his land

Sister, I'll not give you my hand
But I'll still take Johnny and all his land
I'll be true unto my love
If he'll be true to me

The youngest drifted down to the Miller's dam
Sing aye-dum, sing aye-day
The youngest drifted down to the Miller's dam
The boys are bound for me
The youngest drifted down to the Miller's dam
A harper spied her from the land
I'll be true unto my love
If he'll be true to me

He made a harp out of her breast bone
Sing aye-dum, sing aye-day
He made a harp out of her breast bone
The boys are bound for me
He made a harp out of her breast bone
Its song would melt a heart of stone
I'll be true unto my love
If he'll be true to me

about

TRÚ image

TRÚ

The trú was a mythological trio of poet-musicians in ancient Ulster. They were revered throughout Ireland, some believing their songs and stories came to them from the future. Others maintained that the trú were possessed by spirits during performance. As such, they were considered gatekeepers to the Otherworld.
