Laura,

As you can tell, there are quite a few different versions of the 'Two Sisters' story out there. It's a great one!

The one that "ac.graybill" mentions has more of an American/Appalachian feel to it (at least when I've heard it done); but the ending is slightly different. It should be:

"The miller, he was hanged on the mountainhead
The eldest sister was boiled in lead.
I'll be true unto my love, if he'll be true to me."

(This is where the group 'Boiled in Lead' got its name.)

You can find another version of the song/story, called 'Cruel Sister', on the album "Warrior Bard" (by yours truly), by the Minstrels of Mayhem on "A Brisk Walk", or by Pentangle on an album called 'Cruel Sister' (I think). This one has a more mystical flavor to it and has a different ending as well.

Whichever version (or combination) you end up with, I'm sure you'll enjoy the song.

Good Luck! - Ian O'Donnell
