Subject: RE: Minourie (Binorie, Minorie, The Two Sisters)

In the collection of recorded versions of Child Ballads, "The Two Sisters" is the 3rd most common, after #200-"Gypsie Laddie" and #84-"Barbry Allen"

Between 120-140 recorded versions so far, depending on how you count- (multiple recordings by one artist) Some are, of course, almost identical lyrics.

Betsy Whyte's rendition is indeed a classic!
