There was twa sisters in their booer Hey wi' the gay and the grinding A knicht had come an' courted them both At the bonny bonny bows of London He's courted the eldest wi' brooch and ring Hey wi' the gay and the grinding But he's courted the youngest wi' many better things At the bonny bonny bows of London * * * * I've written most of the headnotes but they aren't completed: http://www.bluegrassmessengers.com/british-and-other-versions--10-twa-sisters.aspx It's taken a while :) Richie
