[Two Daughters] "The Two Sisters" Collected from Miss Marie Murray of Heber, July 22, 1947.
There was a farmer lived in the west,
Bow down, bow down,
There was a farmer lived in the west,
The bow is bent to me.
There was a farmer lived in the west,
He had two daughters they were the best,
Tie toe, tittle tum tay.
He bought the eldest a gay gold ring,
Bow down, bow down,
He bought the eldest a gay gold ring,
The bow is bent to me.
He bought the eldest a gay gold ring,
He bought the other one not one thing,
Tie toe, tittle tum tay.
He bought the eldest a beaver hat,
Bow down, bow down,
He bought the eldest a beaver hat,
The bow is bent to me.
He bought the eldest a beaver hat,
The other one got mad at that.
Tie toe, tittle tum tay.
