Two young sisters three years apart The elder held the younger’s heart The bonnie oak sways in the breeze And I’ll be true to my love if my love will be true to me Last night the younger begin to sing Sister, sister, look at this ring Bow bow and balance me I’ll be true to my love if my love will be true to me The two yong sisters then left home To walk the shore and climb jetty stones Lay the bent to the bonnie broom Gossip on the would-be groom The elder stood by the younger’s side And pushed her into the rising tide She waited a while twirling her dark hair Until she could not see her sister fair And the bonnie blonde no longer screamed I’ll be true to my love if my love will be true to me She picked up shells from the sand Dreaming about her sister’s man “How could she steal his hand I’ll have him and all his land” She worked up tears before the door She said her sister ran to the shore The family walked into the town Search parties formed, but nothing found The elder smiled, “boys are born for me” I’ll be true to my love if my love will be true to me A few months later the miller’s son Came across some beached, bleached bones And thought he heart a whispering I’ll be true to my love if my love will be true to me He looked down and saw the gleam Reflecting off his grandma’s ring He took his find to the luthier’s home To craft something from the hairs and bones An odd request, but out of love The bones, neck and body, and the hair was strung The miller’s son soon came to see I’ll be true to my love if my love will be true to me He strummed all night and picked all day And listened to what she had to say “My dark haired sister pushed me in My beloved sister laughed and grinned Jealous of my betrothed She wanted him all for her own” So he took her to the courthouse hall And gathered up the judges all He placed her high up on a shelf It began to play herself The same story it did repeat I’ll be true to my love if my love will be true to me They gathered by the lynching tree The whole town had come to see And listen to what it had said As the dark haired sister boiled in lead The miller’s son hit his knees As held his love as tears streamed The building shook as he screamed I’ll be true to my love if my love will be true to me
