The Miller's Melody
THE TWA SISTERS—J

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

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

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

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