Jennifer Smith Origins: background info for Two Sisters songs? (24) bkground req. for Two Sisters songs? 21 Jan 97

I've run across at least half a dozen versions of The Two Sisters / The Cruel Sister song(s) over the years, and I was wondering if anyone knows the origins of it, ie. a specific Irish myth or bit of folklore? Or anything, really - for some reason the song fascinates me.

Thanks.
