[Daughters Three (The Two Sisters)]- Wilkinson MSS., 1935-36, p. 15(E); Sung by Mrs. Texas Anne Lewis, Mount Crawford, Va., October 31, 1935.
There was an old woman lived in the Northern 'try,
Bow'r down,
There was an old woman lived in the Northern 'try,
The bough has bent to me.
There was an old woman lived in the Northern 'try,
She had some daughters, two or three.
Love will be true, true to my love,
Love and my love will be true to me.
