	"The Two Sisters." Recorded by Mrs. Henry from the singing of Mrs. Samuel Harmon, Cade's Cove, Blount County, Tennessee, August 13, 1930.
	1. Two little sisters loved one man, Sing I dum, sing I dey; Two little sisters loved one man, The boys are bound for me. Two little sisters loved one man; Johnny loved the youngest the little the best, Says I'll be kind to my true-love, If she'll be kind to me. 2. Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat, Sing I dum, sing I dey; Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat; The boys are bound for me. Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat; The oldest one thought hard of that, Says I'll be kind to my true-love, If she'll be kind to me. 3. Johnny bought the youngest a gay, gold ring, Sing I dum, sing I dey; Johnny bought the youngest a gay, gold ring; The boys are bound for me. Johnny bought the youngest a gay, gold ring And never bought the oldest a single thing, Says I'll be kind to my true-love, If she'll be kind to me.
