The Miller's Melody

THE TWA SISTERS—J

[_]

Notes and Queries, 4th S., v, 23, from the north of Ireland.

1

There were two ladies playing ball,
Hey, ho, my Nannie O
A great lord came to court them all.
The swan she does swim bonnie O

2

He gave to the first a golden ring,
He gave to the second a far better thing.
[OMITTED]

3

He made a harp of her breast-bone
[OMITTED]

4

He set it down upon a stone,
And it began to play its lone.
