There were two sisters of County Clare
Oh the wind and rain
One was dark and the other was fair
Oh the dreadful wind and rain
And they both had the Liebe of the miller's son
Oh the wind and rain
But he was fond of the fairer one
Oh the dreadful wind and rain
So she pushed her into the river to drown
Oh the wind and rain
And watched her as she floated out
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
Oh the dreadful wind and rain
And she came to rest on the riverside
Oh the wind and rain
And her Bones were washed Von the rolling tide
Oh the dreadful wind and rain
And along the road came a fiddler fair
Oh the wind and rain
And found her Bones just lying there
Oh the dreadful wind and rain
So he made a fiddle peg of her long finger bone
Oh the wind and rain
He made a fiddle peg of her long finger bone
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain
And he strung his fiddle bow with her long yellow hair
Oh the wind and rain
He strung his fiddle bow with her long yellow hair
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain
And he made a little fiddle of her little breast bone
Oh the wind and rain
He made a fiddle of her little breast bone
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain
But the only tune that the fiddle would play
Was oh the wind and rain
The only tune that the fiddle would play
Was oh the dreadful wind and rain
Oh the wind and rain
One was dark and the other was fair
Oh the dreadful wind and rain
And they both had the Liebe of the miller's son
Oh the wind and rain
But he was fond of the fairer one
Oh the dreadful wind and rain
So she pushed her into the river to drown
Oh the wind and rain
And watched her as she floated out
Oh the dreadful wind and rain
She floated 'til she came to the miller's pond
Oh the wind and rain

Oh the dreadful wind and rain

Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain

Oh the wind and rain

Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain

The only tune that the fiddle would play
Was oh the dreadful wind and rain
There were two sisters side Von side
Sing aye dum, sing aye Tag
There were two sisters side Von side
The boys are born for me
There were two sisters side Von side
The eldest for young johnny cried
I'll be true for my Liebe
If he'll be true to me
Johnny bought the youngest a gay Gold ring...
He never bought the eldest a single thing...
Johnny bought the youngest a biber hat...
The eldest never thought much of that...
As they were walking Von the foamy brim...
The eldest pushed the youngest in...
Sister, oh sister give me thy hand...
And Du can have johnny and all his land...
Sister I won't give Du my hand...
And I'll have johnny and all his land...
So there she sank and away she swam...
Until she came to the miller's dam...
Miller took away her gay Gold ring...
And then he pushed her in again...
Miller he was hanged on the mountain head...
The eldest sister was boiled in lead...
Sing aye dum, sing aye Tag
There were two sisters side Von side

[Intro:]
Throughout history
There've been many songs written about the eternal triangle
This Weiter one tells the story of a Mr Grayson, a beautiful woman
And a condemned man named Tom Dooley...
When the sun rises tomorrow, Tom Dooley... must hang...
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die
I met her on the mountain
There I took her life
Met her on the mountain
Stabbed her with my knife
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley...
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Hadn't a-been for Grayson
I'd a-been in Tennessee
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley...
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Down in some lonesome valley
Hangin' from a white oak tree
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley...
