Oh, the Wind and Rain

Lyrics for Oh, the Wind and Rain

Now, there were two sisters come walking down the stream Oh, the wind and rain The one behind pushed the other one in Cryin', "Oh, the dreadful wind and rain" Johnny gave the youngest one a gay gold ring Oh, the wind and rain He didn't give the oldest one anything Cryin', "Oh, the dreadful wind and rain" "Sister, o sister, give me thy hand" Oh, the wind and rain "And you can have Johnny and all his land" Cryin', "Oh, the dreadful wind and rain" "Well, sister, I'll not give you thy hand" Oh, the wind and rain "And I'll have Johnny and all his land" Cryin', "Oh, the dreadful wind and rain" She pushed her into the river to drown Oh, the wind and rain And watched her as she floated down Cryin', "Oh, the dreadful wind and rain" She floated 'til she came to the miller's pond Oh, the wind and rain Cryin', "Father, o father, there swims a swan" Cryin', "Oh, the dreadful wind and rain" The miller pulled her out with a fishing hook Oh, the wind and rain He pulled that fair maid from the brook Cryin', "Oh, the dreadful wind and rain" He left her on the bank to dry Oh, the wind and rain And the fiddling fool come passing by Cried, "Oh, the dreadful wind and rain" Out of the woods came a fiddler fair Oh, the wind and rain He took several strands of her long, yellow hair Cryin', "Oh, the dreadful wind and rain" And he made a fiddle bow of her long, yellow hair Oh, the wind and rain He made a fiddle bow of her long, yellow hair Cryin', "Oh, the dreadful wind and rain" And he made fiddle pegs of her little finger bones Oh, the wind and rain Made fiddle pegs of her little finger bones Cryin', "Oh, the dreadful wind and rain" And he made a little fiddle of her breastbone Oh, the wind and rain And its sound could melt a heart of a stone Cryin', "Oh, the dreadful wind and rain" And the only tune that fiddle would play was "Oh, the wind and rain" The only tune that fiddle would play was "Oh, the dreadful wind and rain"
