Hi,

Two stanza fragment with music from James Madison Carpenter Collection, JMC/1/5/1/T, p. 08704

Twa Sisters- sung by Carrie Lindsay of unknown location, probably Aberdeenshire, collected by Carpenter before 1931.

1    There were twa sisters in a toon,
      Binorie, aye[1] and Binorie, O.
And a bonnie miller laddie cam a-courtin' them,
   The bonnie miller laddie o Binorie, O.

2    He courted the younger ane wi' ribbons and wi' rings,
       Binorie, aye and Binorie, O.
He's courted the other wi' far better things,
   He's her bonnie miller laddie o Binorie, O.
