Lyrics

[00:20.100] There were two sisters of County Clare
[00:23.100] Oh the wind and rain
[00:25.990] One was dark and the other was fair
[00:28.900] Oh the dreadful wind and rain
[00:34.430] And they both had the love of the miller's son
[00:37.110] Oh the wind and rain
[00:40.100] But he was fond of the fairer one
[00:42.990] Oh the dreadful wind and rain
[00:48.030] So she pushed her into the river to drown
[00:51.160] Oh the wind and rain
[00:53.620] And watched her as she floated out
[00:56.930] Oh the dreadful wind and rain
[01:11.690] She floated 'til she came to the miller's pond
[01:14.530] Oh the wind and rain
[01:17.280] Dead on the water like a golden swan
[01:20.430] Oh the dreadful wind and rain
[01:25.600] And she came to rest on the riverside
[01:28.540] Oh the wind and rain
[01:31.120] And her bones were washed by the rolling tide
[01:34.440] Oh the dreadful wind and rain
[01:39.580] And along the road came a fiddler fair
[01:42.640] Oh the wind and rain
[01:45.300] And found her bones just lying there
[01:48.520] Oh the dreadful wind and rain
[02:02.370] So he made a fiddle peg of her long finger bone
[02:05.550] Oh the wind and rain
[02:08.300] He made a fiddle peg of her long finger bone
[02:11.640] Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain
[02:16.800] And he strung his fiddle bow with her long yellow hair
[02:19.920] Oh the wind and rain
[02:22.510] He strung his fiddle bow with her long yellow hair
[02:25.700] Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain
[02:32.250] And he made a little fiddle of her little breast bone
[02:34.210] Oh the wind and rain
[02:37.140] He made a fiddle of her little breast bone
[02:40.040] Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain
[02:45.630] But the only tune that the fiddle would play
[02:48.370] Was oh the wind and rain
[02:51.140] The only tune that the fiddle would play
[02:54.310] Was oh the dreadful wind and rain
