horton barker - bow and balance lyrics

there was an old woman lived on the sea shore
bow and balance to me
there was an old woman lived on the sea shore
her number of daughters, one, two, three, four
and i’ll be true to my love
if my love’ll be true to me

there was a young man come there to see them
bow and balance to me
there was a young man come there to see them
and the oldest one got struck on him
and i’ll bе true to my love
if my love’ll bе true to me

he bought the youngest a beaver hat
bow and balance to me
he bought the youngest a beaver hat
and the oldest one got mad at that
and i’ll be true to my love
if my love’ll be true to me

“oh sister, oh sister, let’s walk the sea shore”
bow and balance to me
“oh sister, oh sister, let’s walk the sea shore
and see the ships as they sail o’er”
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 and 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 and balance to me
“oh sister, oh sister, please lend me your hand
then you may have willie and all of 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 and balance to me
“i never, i never will lend you my hand
but i’ll have willie and all of his land”
and i’ll be true to my love
if my love’ll be true to me

some time she sank and some time she swam
bow and balance to me
some time she sank and some time 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
“oh father, oh father, come draw your dam”
bow and balance to me
“oh father, oh father, come draw your dam
here’s either a mermaid or a swan”
and i’ll be true to my love
if my love’ll be true to me

the miller he got his fishing hook
bow and balance to me
the miller he got his fishing hook
and fished the maiden out of 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 and balance to me
“oh miller, oh miller, here’s five gold rings
‘f you’ll put me safe on shore again”
and i’ll be true to my love
if my love’ll be true to me

the miller received those five gold rings
bow and balance to me
the miller received those five gold rings
and pushed the maiden in again
and i’ll be true to my love
if my love’ll be true to me
the miller was hung at his own mill gate
bow and balance to me
the miller was hung at his own mill gate
for drowning little sister kate
and i’ll be true to my love
if my love’ll be true to me
