Wind and Rain

There were two sisters, such a beautiful pair

O the wind and rain

One was dark and the other was fair

O the dreadful wind and rain

And they both had a love for a neighbor's son

O the wind and rain

But he was fond of the fairer one

O the dreadful wind and rain

So she pushed her into the river to drown

O the wind and rain

And watched her as she floated down

O the dreadful wind and rain

And she floated 'til she came to a shallow pond

O the wind and rain

Dead on the water like a golden swan

O the dreadful wind and rain

And along the road came a fiddler fair

O the wind and rain

And found her bones just a lying there

O the dreadful wind and rain

So he made a fiddle peg of her long finger bone

O the wind and rain

He a made a fiddle peg of her long finger bone

O the dreadful wind and rain

And he strung his fiddle bow with her long yeller hair

O the wind and rain

He strung his fiddle bow with her long yeller hair

O the dreadful wind and rain

And he made a fiddle fiddle of her breastbone

O the wind and rain

He made a fiddle fiddle of her breastbone

O the dreadful wind and rain

But the only tune that the fiddle could play

O the wind and rain

The only tune that the fiddle would play was

O the dreadful wind and rain
