The Twa Sisters 
The Twa Sisters 
I says to my dear sister, "Are ye comin' for to walk?" "Ayee O, an' sae bonnie, O" "An it's I'll show you wonders before we go back." And the Swan it swims sae bonnie, O. 
Put your foot on a marble stone An'd I'll show ye wonders before ye go home. 
But miller, O miller, come dry up your dam For I see a made all white like a swan. 
But the miller, he quickly, he dried the dam And he took out the maid all white like a swan. 
He took out the maid and he hung 'er up to dry, And there was three fiddlers passin' by. 
There was one o' them he took three lengths o' her hair Ayee, O an' sae bonnie, O There was anither o' them took her breast bone. And the swan it swims sae bonnie, O There to make a fiddle-head to play a tune upon. 
But those three fiddlers was playin' guan along Until they came tae the castle sae high. 
But fiddlers, sweet fiddlers and let them b guan Out then it speaks, her father, the king, Ayee O an' sae bonnie, O And out it speaks her father, says to Jean And the swan it swims sae bonnie, O 
There sits my father the king And there sits my mother, the queen. 
And there sits my false sister, Jean Who drowned me against the stream.
