Two little sisters walking by the stream,
Sing ay dum, sing ay day.
Two little sisters walking by the stream,
The boys all bound for me.
Two little sisters walking by the stream,
The oldest pushed the youngest in.
I'll be kind to my true love,
Because he's kind to me.
Johnny gave the youngest a gay gold ring,
Sing ay dum, sing ay day.
]ohnny gave the youngest a gay gold ring,
The boys all bound for me.
|ohnny gave the youngest a gay gold ring,
He didn't give the oldest a single thing.
I'11 be kind to my true love,
Because he's kind to me.
