Twa Sisters- sung by Sheila Stewart of Blairgowie, Perth on Nov. 18, 1977. Attributed to Lizzie McPhee, but possibly came from the Kelby's.
Sister dearest sister are you going for a walk?
Aee, O, and sae bonnie, O
Aad I'll show you wonders before we come back
And the swan it swims so bonnie.
Put your foot on that a marble stone
Aee, O, and sae bonnie, O
And I'll show you wonders before we go home
Aod the swan it swims so bonnie O.
* * * *
There were three fiddlers a-passing by
Aee, O, and sae bonnie, O
And I'll show you wonders before we go home
Aod the swan it swims so bonnie O.
And one o them took her breastbone
Aod the swan it swims so bonnie O.
And that'll make a fiddle that'll play alane
Aee, O, and sae bonnie, O
