Two Sisters- sung by Alex Troup (1851- 1939) of Overton, district of Insch, Aberdeenshire; brother of Isaac Troup, both contributed to Greig-Duncan c. 1908, will cross reference.

1. There were two sisters lived in a booer[bower]
Binorie o, an' Binorie,
A bonnie millert lad cam a-courtin' o them,
Twas the bonnie millert laddie o Binorie.

2. He courted the elder wis jewels and wis rings,
Binorie o, an' Binorie,
But he courted the younger wis far better things,
She was the bonnie millert's lassie o Binorie.
