Sample demo for Sing Yonder song book, 28pp PDF included with album download.

lyrics

There were two little sisters a-walking along, hey hey to the grinding
Two little sisters a-walking along, by the bonny bonny bows of London

The eldest pushed her sister in...
Pushed her sister into the stream...

Well she pushed her in and she watched her drown
Watched her body floating down

She floated up and she floated down
Down till she come to the miller’s dam

Out and out come the millers son
Father dear here swims a swan

They laid her out on the bank to die
A fool with a fiddle come riding by

He took some strands of her long yellow hair
He made some strings from that yellow hair

He made fiddle pegs from her long fingerbones
And he made a bridge out of her nose-bone

He made a fiddle out of her breastbone
It played so loud it played all alone

But the only tune the fiddle would play, was oh the Bows of London
The only tune the fiddle would play, was the bonny bonny Bows of London

So the fool’s gone away to the king’s high hall
There was music and dancing and all

And he laid the fiddle all down on a stone
It played so loud it played all alone

It sang yonder sits my father the king
Yonder sits my father the king

Yonder sits my mother the queen
How she’ll grieve at my burying

Yonder sits my sister Anne
It was she who drownded me in the stream
