morningsiders - two sisters lyrics

there lived a mother by the north sea shore
(way down, way down)
daughters were the babes she bore
(way down by the sea)
one grew radiant as the sun, cruel grew the elder one
(i will be true to my love if my love will be true to me)

a man came knocking on their door
(way down, way down)
he rode far across the moor
(way down by the sea)
and courted both with golden rings but loved thе younger above all things
(i will be truе to my love if my love will be true to me)

“sister, walk with me outside”
(way down, way down)
“watch the ships come in from tide”
(way down by the sea)
and when that tide came crashin’, the elder pushed the younger in
(i will be true to my love if my love will be true to me)

[instrumental break]

a man came walkin’ down the strand
(way down, way down)
saw her body float to land
(way down by the sea)
and as he looked her beauty on, his heart did break as sure as dawn
(i will be true to my love if my love will be true to me)
he made a harp of her breastbone
(way down, way down)
the sound would melt a heart of stone
(way down by the sea)
oh, with the strands of her bright hair, he did string his harp so rare
(i will be true to my love if my love will be true to me)

he took the harp to the wedding hall
(way down, way down)
there to play before them all
(way down by the sea)
oh when he set it on the stone, the harp began to sing on its own
it said, “i will be true to my love if my love will be true to me”

and the harp sang out these tragic words:
“way down, way down
the bride did her sister curse
way down by the sea
and now her secret you all know and to the gallows she shall go
and i will be true to my love if my love will be true to me”

i will be true to my love if my love will be true to me
