Two Sisters - Tom Waits

«Oh sister, oh sister, let’s walk the seashore

Bow, balance to me

«Oh sister, oh sister, let’s walk the seashore

And see the ships as they sail in oar»

And I’ll be true to my love if my love’ll be true to me

While these two sisters were walking the shore

Bow, balance to me

While these two sisters were walking the shore

The oldest pushed the youngest o’er

And I’ll be true to my love if my love’ll be true to me

«Oh sister, oh sister, please lend me your hand»

Bow, balance to me

«Oh sister, oh sister, please lend me your hand

And you’ll have Willie and all o' his land»

And I’ll be true to my love if my love’ll be true to me

«I never, I never will lend you my hand»

Bow, balance to me

«I never, I never will lend you my hand

But I’ll have Willie and all o' his land»

And I’ll be true to my love if my love’ll be true to me

Sometimes she sank and sometimes she swam

Bow, balance to me

Sometimes she sank and sometimes she swam

Until she came to the old mill dam

And I’ll be true to my love if my love’ll be true to me

A miller, he got his fishing hook

Bow, balance to me

The miller, he got his fishing hook

And fished that maiden out o' the brook

And I’ll be true to my love if my love’ll be true to me

«Oh miller, oh miller, here’s five gold rings»

Bow, balance to me

«Oh miller, oh miller, here’s five gold rings

To push the maiden in again»

And I’ll be true to my love if my love’ll be true to me

The miller, he received those five gold rings

Bow, balance to me

The miller, he received the five gold rings

And pushed that maiden in again

And I’ll be true to my love if my love’ll be true to me

The miller was hung in the old mill gate

Bow, balance to me

The miller was hung in the old mill gate

For drowned the little sister Kate

And I’ll be true to my love if my love’ll be true to me
