There were twa sisters, side by side
Do I dum, and do I dae
There were twa sisters, side by side
All the boys are bad for me
There were twa sisters, side by side
The eldest wore young Johnny's kite
Hope you do, undo, my love, 
Be true to me
Old Johnny, bought a golden ring
Do I dum, and do I dae
Johnny bought the youngest a golden ring
All the boys have been for me(?)
Johnny bought the youngest a golden ring
Didn't get the sisters a dreaded thing
Hope you do, undo, my love, 
Be true to me
As they went walking by the stony brim
Do I dum, and do I dae
As they went walking by the stony brim
All the boys are bad for me
As they went walking by the stony brim
The elders pushed their sister in
Hope you do, undo, my love, 
Be true to me
Oh, sister, sister, gimme your hand
Do I dum, and do I dae
Sister, sister, gimme your hand
All the boys are bad for me
Sister, I know, gimme your hand
But I'll take Johnny and all his land
Hope you do, undo, my love, 
Be true to me
Oh, the way she sunk and the way she swum
Do I dum, and do I dae
Oh, the way she sunk and the way she smile
All the boys are bad for me
The way she sunk and the way she smile
Till she come to the millers dump
Hope you do, undo, my love, 
Be true to me
That miller, he took her golden ring
Do I dum, and do I dae
That miller, he took her golden ring
All the boys are bad for me
The melody took her golden ring
Then he pushed her in again
Hope you do, undo, my love, 
Be true to me
