lyrics

There were two sisters came walking down the stream
‘Oh the wind and rain’
The one behind pushed the other one in
‘Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain’.

They both had a love of the miller’s son
‘Oh the wind and rain’
He only loved the fairer one
‘Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain’.

They pushed her into the river to drown
‘Oh the wind and rain’
Watched her as she floated on down
‘Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain’.

She floated ’til she came to the Miller’s pond
‘Oh the wind and rain’
Dead on the water like a golden swan
‘Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain’.

She floated ’til she came to the riverside
‘Oh the wind and rain’
Her bones were washed by the rolling tide
‘Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain’.

Along the road came a fiddler fair
‘Oh the wind and rain’
Found her bones just lying there


‘Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain’.

He made fiddle pegs from her long finger bones
‘Oh the wind and rain’
He made fiddle pegs from her long finger bones
‘Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain’.

He made a fiddle bow from her long yellow hair
‘Oh the wind and rain’
He made a fiddle bow from her long yellow hair
‘Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain’.

He made a fine fiddle from her breast bone
‘Oh the wind and rain’
He made a very fine fiddle from her breast bone
‘Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain’.

The only tune that the fiddle would play
‘Oh the wind and rain’
The only tune that the fiddle would play
Was ‘Oh the dreadful wind and rain’.
