"two sisters from County Clare"
It's not what the questioner was asking for, but maybe it should be mentioned that 'County Clare' has apparently been tacked on to an American version of the 'Two Sisters' ballad, to give it an Irish location. In fact the ballad, though very popular in Britain and North America, was found very rarely in Ireland. Even in America, 'Wind and Rain' accounts for only a tiny number of the many versions of 'Two Sisters', most of which have a 'Bow Down' chorus.
