There were two sisters came walking down the stream
Oh the wind and rain
The one behind pushed the other one in
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain

Charlie gave the youngest a gay old ring
Oh the wind and rain
Didn’t give the oldest one anything
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain

They pushed her into the river to drown
Oh the wind and rain
And watched her as she floated down
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain

Floated ’til she came to a miller’s pond
Oh the wind and the rain
Mama, oh Father, there swims a swan
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain

The miller pushed her out with a fishing hook
Oh the wind and rain
Pulled that fair maid from the brook
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain

He left her on the banks to dry
Crying oh the wind and rain
And a fiddlin’ fool come passing by
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain

Out of the woods came a fiddler fair
Oh, the wind and rain
Took thirty strands of her long yellow hair
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain

And he made a fiddle bow of her long yeller hair
Oh, the wind and rain
He made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain

He made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones
Oh the wind and rain
He made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain

And he made a little fiddle of her breastbone
Oh the wind and rain
And the sound could melt a heart of stone
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain

And the only tune that fiddle would play was
Oh the wind and rain
And only tune that fiddle would play was
Oh the dreadful wind and rain
